Say we have a list of emails and we want to check if they are in the correct format or not. One way is to check each and every mail manually but that’s not possible if the number of mails is quite high. So, regex here comes to your rescue. […]

This was not always the case – a decade back this thought would have met a lot of skeptic eyes! This means that more people / organizations are using tools like Python / JavaScript for solving their data needs. This is where Regular Expressions become super useful. Regular expressions are normally the default way […]
