RegEx
Hello~ I'm one of the new mods for c/regex I'll try my best to keep this community a safe place where people can find good [regex101](https://regex101.com/) information without having to deal with any toxic nonsense!
With all the strengths and shortcomings of Chat-GPT, I wanted to share one consistent strength I found it has when working with regex. - You can ask it to generate regex patterns for known and custom things. - If you are skeptical it is correct (like me), you can ask it to break down the pattern and inspect why the decisions were made. If I don't understand some fields, I type up a quick test and make sure it covers all edge cases. - And my personal favorite, you can paste a regex and ask it to tell you what it matches to. No more writing regex and forgetting what they are for! I don't always have the opportunity to use regex when I work and would shy away from it because it can become illegible, but now that it is so easy I find I am slapping it everywhere and I cutting down on logic when sanitizing inputs/data. The bonus is now that I'm using it more, I am becoming less reliant on having it be generated for me.

A regular expression is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Theyre usually used for find, or find and replace operations on strings, or for input validation.
