Regular expressions are used for everything from validation, to sanitization, to recognizing and pulling out phone numbers, addresses, or emails. Nearly every app makes (or should be making) use of Regex, but interpreting and creating expressions can seem overly complicated (and that's before we get into look aheads or look behinds) and confusing for developers.
