This beginner path introduces regular expressions in Java, starting with core pattern-matching concepts, special characters, and techniques for matching specific parts of a string.
You will progress to capture groups, input validation, matching flags, lookaheads, and text transformations. You will also work with large files, international text, and strategies for improving regex performance and readability.
The path concludes with building a maintainable data-processing pipeline that applies regular expressions to practical extraction, cleaning, and transformation tasks.
