Fun Fact
Regular expressions are powerful enough to describe patterns in DNA sequences, log files, and even entire programming languages-yet they are often written in just a few characters.
Historical Context
Regular expressions originated in the 1950s through the work of mathematician Stephen Kleene. Over time, they became a cornerstone of Unix tools, programming languages, and modern data processing. Tools that generate data from RegExp patterns emerged as testing and automation needs grew in large-scale software systems.
