    Regex, short for regular expressions, is a powerful tool for matching and manipulating text. It automates various text-processing tasks, such as validating email addresses, extracting data from log files and cleaning messy datasets. While regex syntax is quite similar across programming languages, this tutorial will focus on how it works specifically in Python. What Does Regex Do?
