What “regexes” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediaregexes
- nounA concise description of a regular formal language with notations for concatenation, alternation, and iteration (repetition) of subexpressions.
A regular expression, sometimes referred to as a rational expression, is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation. Regular expression techniques are developed in theoretical computer science and formal language theory.
