About regular expressions

You can automate many find-and-replace tasks by using wildcard characters to build regular
expressions, which are combinations of literal text and wildcard characters. The literal text characters
indicate text that must exist in the target string of text. The wildcard characters indicate the text that can
vary in the target string. For example, you can use regular expressions to find and remove duplicate
rows from a large table or to transpose a list of names (change them from "First Last" to "Last, First").
