Regular expressions (regex) are powerful tools used in programming and text processing to identify and manipulate strings based on specific patterns. They consist of a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, allowing users to perform tasks such as searching, replacing, or validating text. Regular expressions are widely utilized across various programming languages, including Java, Python, and JavaScript, each with its own syntax variations. Understanding the basics of regex can significantly enhance your ability to handle text data efficiently, making it an essential skill for developers and data scientists alike.
