Introduction to Regular Expressions

A Regular Expression (often abbreviated as RegExp or regex) is a sequence of characters that forms a search pattern. This pattern can be used for text search, text replace, and data validation operations.

In JavaScript, regular expressions are objects. You can create a RegExp object in two ways:

• Using a RegExp Literal (Recommended): The pattern is enclosed between forward slashes.

  const regex = /pattern/modifiers;

• Using the RegExp Constructor:

  const regex = new RegExp('pattern', 'modifiers');
  

RegExp Modifiers and Flags

Modifiers change how a regular expression searches text. They are appended to the end of the regex literal (e.g., /abc/g) or passed as the second argument to the constructor.
