What is a Regular Expression?<br />
A string that is used to describe or match a set of strings, according to<br />
certain syntax rules.<br />
What can it be used for? Example:<br />
• Everyday, you are receiving a message (among others) from<br />
your application similar to this one:<br />
13/11/2007 08:01 Good morning Dr Jones. You have 3<br />
new messages.<br />
• How can we easily retrieve the number of messages for Dr<br />
Jones and the date and time, knowing that the date and time<br />
will change, that we might have other messages with a<br />
different name and that we are only retrieving the last<br />
message?<br />
