Regex is cryptic. AI writes and explains patterns in plain English.
The Prompt:
Create a regex pattern for: [Describe what you want to match - e.g., "email addresses", "phone numbers in format (XXX) XXX-XXXX", "URLs with optional protocol"] Requirements: - Pattern for [language/tool - e.g., JavaScript, Python, grep] - Explain what each part means - Provide 5 test examples (3 matches, 2 non-matches) - Flag any edge cases or limitations
Example Output:
Pattern: ^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w{2,}$
Breakdown:
^ = start of string
[\w\.-]+ = one or more word chars, dots, or hyphens
@ = literal @ symbol
...
No more regex headaches!
