How Can Regular Expressions Improve Form Data Collection Efficiency?

---

Introduction:

Ensuring that users provide correct data when filling out forms is crucial for maintaining data integrity and improving user experience. One powerful tool that can help achieve this is regular expressions, or regex. Regular expressions allow you to define patterns for the data you expect, making it easier to validate inputs such as email addresses, phone numbers, and more. By leveraging the power of regex, you can create forms that not only catch errors before they are submitted but also guide users to provide the correct information from the start.
