Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Regular Expression (Regex)?
A Regular Expression (Regex) is a sequence of characters that forms a search pattern used for text matching, string validation, searching, and replacing operations in programming languages.
What do the regex flags (g, i, m, s, u, y) mean?
Flags modify pattern matching behavior: "g" performs global matching across the whole string, "i" makes matching case-insensitive, "m" enables multiline anchors (^ and $ match line boundaries), and "s" allows the dot (.) to match newlines.
How can I test regex matching via API?
You can query Yurlie API endpoint POST https://api.yurlie.app/v1/developer/regex passing a pattern and input text to test matches programmatically.
