How to use regex and where to use it
How to use
You'll need to create a pattern:
[0-9]: A character between 0 and 9
[a-z]: A character between a and z. The same can be done with capitals
[0-9]*: will match only numerical values. The * is to repeat [0-9] unlimited
[a-z]{3}: will match exactly 3 times, you can replace the 3 with any number that you want.
[a-z]|[5]: will match if the character is between a and z or is the number 5
[“a”“b”]: will match if the character is a or b. You can add as many characters that you want.
Regex examples
^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$
[+]\d{2}\s\d{3}\s\d{2}\s\d{2}\s\d{2} will match a phone number in the format +12 123 12 12
