    Why Regex Is Still Hard

    Regular expressions are powerful but notoriously hard to write and debug. A misplaced quantifier can match everything or nothing. Vincony's Regex Builder lets you describe your pattern in plain English and generates a tested regex with explanations.

        description="Match email addresses ending in .edu or .ac.uk",
        test_strings=[
            "[email protected]",        # should match
            "[email protected]",      # should match
            "[email protected]",         # should not match
        ],
        language="python"
    )
    
    print(f"Pattern: {result.pattern}")
    print(f"Explanation: {result.explanation}")
