Regex Groups: A Subpage of Subpages

What are Regex Groups, you ask?

Oh, they're like tiny little containers for your regex patterns. You can think of them like little boxes or groups that help you match more than one thing at once. It's like a party for your regular expressions, where everyone gets their own little dance floor and can do their own thing.

Types of Regex Groups

They're like a big empty space that just kinda sits there.

But, hey, someone's gotta keep the party interesting, right?
