Regular Expressions are an extremely handy tool to have at your disposal. They are also incredibly intimidating looking if you don’t know how or why someone is using them. Regular Expressions are common in just about every programming language, and developers have leaned on their power for many solutions. We use them for searching, replacing and validating that text meets certain formats.
