Skype Regex FTW!

When messaging through Skype, it’s not unusual for geeks to write a little bit of regular expression to correct mistakes.

Example:
rubyconsumer> I like kake!
rubyconsumer> s/kake/cake/

Well it looks like the Skype client for the mac has taken this one step further.  And for once, the mac client is actually ahead of the windows client.

An up to date Skype client will now take that regex and run it against your last message.  The resulting message from the previous example would look like:

Example:
Editted: 10/9/08 7:30AM - rubyconsumer
rubyconsumer> I like cake!

Now that’s Geek Accessibility!

Now if only video sites like youtube would add key board shortcuts…
