Act as a regex expert. I want a regex that matches: [DESCRIBE_PATTERN] It should NOT match: [DESCRIBE_NON_MATCHES] Regex flavor: [JavaScript / Python / PCRE / etc.] Example inputs that should match: - [EXAMPLE_1] - [EXAMPLE_2] Example inputs that should NOT match: - [EXAMPLE_3] - [EXAMPLE_4] Output: 1. The regex pattern 2. A character-by-character breakdown of what each part does 3. A version of the regex commented inline (using x-flag style) for clarity 4. Sample usage code in [LANGUAGE] 5. 3 edge cases this regex might fail on, and how to handle them
Replace text in [BRACKETS] with your own values before pasting.
