An Introduction To Regex
Regex, short for 'regular expression', is a syntax that allows you to match strings with specific patterns. You can imagine it as a text search that can become very advanced & specific depending on how many filters, Regex Components, are added.
I will be explaining Regex used in a Javascript environment with all declarations of variables and commands being in JS, however, the Regex notation itself is a universal language that can be applied to many different coding languages. By the end of this article, I hope you will have enough information to set up Regex Syntax in your own coding programs.
