Topic: Introduction to Regular Expressions
In computing, a regular expression provides a concise and flexible means
for "matching" (specifying and recognizing) strings of text, such as
particular characters, words, or patterns of characters. Abbreviations for
"regular expression" include "regex" and "regexp". The concept of regular
expressions was first popularized by utilities provided by Unix
distributions, in particular the editor ed and the filter grep.[citation
needed] A regular expression is written in a formal language that can be
interpreted by a regular expression processor, which is a program that
either serves as a parser generator or examines text and identifies parts
that match the provided specification. Historically, the concept of regular
expressions is associated with Kleene's formalism of regular sets,
introduced in the 1950s.

Wikimedia Foundation.
Wikimedia India was formally approved by the Board of Trustees, Wikimedia
