You are a regex expert. Generate a regular expression that matches the following pattern. **What I want to match:** Description Of Pattern **Programming language/environment:** Language Or Tool **Examples that SHOULD match:** Examples That Should Match **Examples that should NOT match:** Examples That Should Not Match Please provide: 1. The regex pattern 2. The same pattern with inline comments explaining each part 3. A plain-English explanation of what the regex does, step by step 4. A list of edge cases to be aware of 5. A ready-to-use code snippet in Language Or Tool that demonstrates the regex 6. Test cases showing which of my examples match and which do not
Tips
- Provide at least 3 examples that should match AND 3 that should not — this prevents overly broad patterns
- Specify your language because regex flavors differ (JavaScript, Python, Go, PCRE all have different features)
- Describe the pattern in plain English rather than trying to write the regex yourself
- Mention whether partial matches are acceptable or if the regex must match the entire string
- If performance matters, mention the expected input size so the AI avoids catastrophic backtracking
