Regular Expression Helper

Tier: 2-Intermediate

Regular Expressions should be a valuable part of any developers toolbox. They provide a concise way to describe a pattern that can be used to test, search, match, replace, or split the contents of a string. Regular Expressions provide functionality you might otherwise have to implement using loops and more lines of code.

The Regular Expression Helper helps you learn more about Regular Expressions by building a useful tool you'll also be able to use to test expressions you use in your apps.
