ℹ️ What is Regular Expression (Regex)?

A regular expression (regex) is a pattern used to match text. It's like a powerful search tool that can:

• Find patterns: Email addresses, phone numbers, dates, etc.
• Validate input: Check if text matches a specific format
• Extract data: Pull specific information from larger text
• Replace text: Find and replace with pattern matching

Common Use Cases:

• Email validation: Verify email addresses are properly formatted
• Phone extraction: Find all phone numbers in a document
• Data cleaning: Extract specific data from messy text
• Form validation: Ensure user input matches expected format

Quick Regex Reference:

• \d - Any digit (0-9)
• \w - Any word character (letter, digit, underscore)
• \s - Any whitespace (space, tab, newline)
• + - One or more of the previous character
• * - Zero or more of the previous character
• ? - Zero or one of the previous character (optional)
• [abc] - Any character in the brackets (a, b, or c)
• [0-9] - Any digit from 0 to 9
• . - Any single character

Tip: Start with a preset pattern and modify it, or build a custom pattern step-by-step. Test your pattern against real text to see what it matches!
