Regular Expressions

Regular Expressions are a standardised way of being able to manipulate text to match and replace the content based on patterns. There are quite a lot of different programming languages that support regular expressions including PHP and PERL (along with many other server side languages) and JavaScript also supports most of the same regular expressions in the web browser.

For an in depth step by step series of tutorials covering all the aspects of regular expressions in JavaScript see my About JavaScript series of Regular Expression Tutorials. Long before I wrote those tutorials I had written a much shorter description of what regular expressions are summarising what options are available.
