Regex String Manipulator
Intro
A regular expression (shortened as regex) is a sequence of characters that specifies a search pattern. A common use for regex is to match strings or parts of strings in order to do something with the result. For example, the default expression of a+ will return all instances of the letters a found within the input string. So the string Cavalry would output aa because the word Cavalry has two as.
UI
