Quick Tips

Use Non-Capturing Groups

Use (?:...) instead of (...) when you don't need to capture the matched text.

(?:https?|ftp)://\S+

Prefer Character Classes

Use [0-9] instead of \d for better cross-platform compatibility.

[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}

Anchor Your Patterns

Use ^ and $ to ensure the entire string matches your pattern.

^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$

Be Specific with Quantifiers

Use specific quantifiers like {2,10} instead of + when possible.

^[A-Za-z]{2,50}$
