What is a Regular Expression (Regex)?

A regular expression is a sequence of characters that specifies a search pattern. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation.

Common Regex Flags

  • g (Global): Don't return after the first match. Find all matches in the string.
  • i (Case Insensitive): Match both upper and lower case characters.
  • m (Multiline): Treat beginning and end characters (^ and $) as working over multiple lines.
  • s (DotAll): Allow the dot . character to match newline characters.
