Gain insights into pattern matching with regular expressions in C#. Explore data validation, information extraction, and more using String and Regex APIs with practical examples.

Regular expressions provide an extremely powerful method for pattern matching with strings. They are very useful for parsing information like dates, phone numbers, or zip codes from important text files, such as code files, log files, spreadsheets, or documents. The course discusses everyday use cases of regular expressions, e.g., data validation, information extraction, pattern matching, and search and replace.

This course will teach you the core concepts of pattern matching, character classes, special and meta characters, and quantifiers. You will also learn conditional regular expressions including lookahead and lookbehind assertions. You will also learn the APIs used in C# for regular expressions with hands-on code widgets. 

This course will teach you how to perform pattern matching with a regular expression using String and Regex APIs for the above-mentioned practical use cases in C#.
