Introduction to Regular Expressions
Regular expressions are sequences of characters that define a search pattern. They are commonly used for tasks such as data validation, text parsing, and search-and-replace operations. In Python, the module
allows developers to work with regular expressions.
Basic Syntax

- : Matches any character except a newline.
| . |
- : Anchors the regex at the start of the string.
| ^ |
- : Anchors the regex at the end of the string.
| $ |
- : Matches zero or more occurrences of the preceding character.
| * |
