What are Regular Expressions?

Regular expressions (regex) are powerful pattern-matching sequences used to search, match, and manipulate text. They are supported in virtually every programming language โ€” JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, and more. Developers use regex for input validation (emails, phone numbers, URLs), text parsing and extraction, find-and-replace operations, log analysis, and data cleaning. While regex syntax can seem cryptic at first, mastering common patterns dramatically improves your text-processing productivity.
