I still don't understand regex at all
I recommend using https://regex101.com/
It explains all parts of your regex and highlights all matches in your example text. I usually add a comment to a regex101 playground if I use a regex in code.
I disagree. I found it to be incredibly useful when I knew what regex was and that I needed it, but I couldn't piece together a single string with it.
