Regex Matching Web App Development👨‍💻

Regular expression (RegEx) matching is a method of searching, finding, and manipulating text based on patterns. It allows you to define a pattern, or a set of rules, and then search within a text for instances that match that pattern. This is useful for tasks such as:

• Validating input,
• Searching for specific strings or patterns within a larger body of text,
• Extracting specific information from text data.

Objectives

In this project my job is to replicate the core functionality of the regex101 website. This entails creating a web application that allows users to input a test string and a regular expression (regex) and displays all the matches found.

🔗You can try out the Regex matcher web app I created here.

Steps:

1. Create a new directory

2. Set up virtual development environment to install Flask, a Python web framework

3. Initialize a new Flask application

4. Create HTML templates

5. Define a route to handle form submission

6. Render the results

7. Test the application

8. Add-on: Implement a new route where a user can validate if a given email id is valid or not.

9. Deploy the application on AWS Cloud.
