Regular Expressions for Programmers_468 x 60 copy.png

Ever wondered how the search or replace button works? They are very useful commands. 

For beginners and professionals alike, we use these commands in our day-to-day work life, at least once a day. This is why I felt the need to build a course that could help you increase your knowledge and save time while working with strings or any sort of text.

The objective of this course is to help you get a strong grip on regular expressions, or in shorthand, regex. Instead of writing repetitive tasks, it mainly focuses on efficient searching in text files.

Regular Expressions for Programmers

## Character range

Recall the RegEx you wrote in the previous problem `/98[12][0123456789]/g`. Consider the case when you need to match huge integers or alphabets. Writing all the alphabets one by one in a character set would be very tedious. As a solution, another unique character, the hyphen`"-"`, is used to express the range. Instead of writing digits or alphabets one by one, you can use this range of characters.
