What is a regular expression?

A regex is a pattern used to match character combinations in strings, widely used for validation, search-and-replace, and parsing text.

What do the flags g, m, and i mean?

"g" finds all matches instead of just the first, "i" makes matching case-insensitive, and "m" makes ^ and $ match the start/end of each line instead of the whole string.

Why does my pattern show an error?

This usually means invalid regex syntax — an unclosed bracket, an invalid escape sequence, or unbalanced parentheses are common causes.
