A regular expression

- a special sequence of characters that helps you match or find other strings or sets of strings, using a specialized syntax held in a pattern. - They can be used to search, edit, or manipulate text and data.

Capturing Groups

- are a way to treat multiple characters as a single unit. - They are created by placing the characters to be grouped inside a set of parentheses. ((A)(B(C))) there are four such groups − (A)(B(C))) (A) (B(C)) (C)

Regular Expressions
