FAQ

What is a regular expression?

A regular expression (regex) is a search pattern used to find, validate or replace text. For example \d+ finds all numbers in a text.

What do the flags mean?

g = find all matches (not just the first), i = ignore case, m = ^ and $ work per line, s = dot . includes line breaks.

What are capture groups?

Parentheses () create capture groups that extract specific parts of the match. For example (\w+)@(\w+) captures user and domain separately from an email.
