With Visual Studio Code we are working with a much more powerful development environment. This has many pros. One of them is the ability to work with regular expressions directly. But it seems that regular expressions are still a closed book for many. But they are soo powerful. It's true, it is looking complex at first. But I want to share some basics and want to show how we could use them in VS Code to demistify them a bit. I hope I can give you some insight into how to use them and what is possible with them, so that you give them a chance to be learned ;)
