FIELD NOTES

Testing regex safely

Regular expressions match text using literals, character classes, groups and quantifiers. Flags change behavior such as case sensitivity and global matching.

Complex nested quantifiers can cause slow backtracking. Test patterns against long and adversarial inputs before production use.
