What can Regular Expressions do? A regular expression describes a pattern that is used to find and manipulate matching text in strings. Regular expressions resemble strings, but they can include special codes to describe patterns and repetition.


For example:

/([0-9a-zA-Z]+[-._+&])*[0-9a-zA-Z]+@([-0-9a-zA-Z]+[.])+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}/

Above expression will be to match a valid e-mail address.

Yes, the Regular Expressions is very useful but write a regular is not an easy work, is there any tool help us to validate it in Flex? The answer is “Of course”.  gskinner.com built a EXTREMELY useful Regular Expressions in Flex, we can test our own regExp with this tool.
