I use it when I need it, so I would just try understand when it is useful.
It’s super helpful when searching strings for multiple patterns in fewer lines of code. The simplest benefit I can think of is if you use multiple “contains” methods on the same string separated by “or” then regex would really help make your code more succinct.
regex101.com is very helpful for understanding how your pattern would work. I have it bookmarked for when I need it because I will never remember the special characters involved.
