A concise and flexible notation for finding and replacing text patterns. This representation includes two basic character types: literal (ordinary) text characters, which represent text that must exist in the target string; metacharacters, which represent text that can vary in the target string. You can use regular expressions to quickly analyze large amounts of text to find specific character patterns; extract, edit, replace, or delete text substrings; or add extracted strings to a collection for generating reports.
