Question about 02-match-extract-strings.md

How could the content be improved?

Hi, I am teaching this lesson for the first time next month and i want to make sure I am not missing someone in this section: Taking spaces into consideration
Type community . You get three matches. Why not six?

The solution says "The string 'community-led' matches the first search, but drops out of this result because the space does not match the character -." but we are asked to type in "community", not "community-led". Am I missing something?

Actually, I think I figured this, it was not clear that you needed to type community with a space. I will mention this when teaching the lesson

Which part of the content does your suggestion apply to?

Hey, I think I understand the issue that I had with this section a little better. However, I did notice that the link in the following sections no longer works: "Find the latest list here. What expression would capture this? Hint: the . is also a metacharacter, so you will have to use the escape \ to express a literal period. Note: for the string after the period, we did not try to match a - character, since those rarely appear in the characters after the period at the end of an email address."
