Answers to Questions
How to analyze a regular expression?
The software of regex analysis decomposes a regular expression in order to find each component (characters, pattern, matches) and describe its meaning. The analysis is based on a cut of the pattern matching expression.
Example: /\d{2,5}/ correspond to \d (digit) {2,5} between 2 and 5 times.
How to calculate the length of a string catchable by regex?
The script gets minimum and maximum sizes of each element of the expression and calculates the total.
Example: (ab|cde){2,3} has for minimum length 4 (case abab) and maximum 9 (case cdecdecde)
Example: a+ has for minimal length 1 (case a) and maximal infinite (case aaaaa...a)
How to test a regexp?
Currently dCode does not support this feature. To test a regular expression, dCode's advice is to use the site Regex101 [] with a Javascript inerface that allow seeing instantly (by underlined characters) detected items or captured in the regular expression.
