Wrangling data with Regular Expressions

A regular expression (regex or regexp for short) is a special text string for describing a search pattern. Searching text with a pattern instead for a specific string of characters can be VERY useful for cleaning data. The concept is available in many programming languages and tools.

Two types of lessons

• The regex101 version is a lesson that uses regex101.com to learn and practice the learning expressions.
• The VS Code version is the same lesson, but it is a backup that can be done without the web (providing you have the material)
