Hello All,
I was studying some pattern matching. And I ran into this piece of code.
Now I believe I understand it up until the the last part \1.
Can someone explain it for me please?
Match lowercase a through z, uppercase A through lc z
no more than three times, with white space zero or one times
then I'm stumped, what's the 1 for?
/([a-zA-z]{3})\s*\1/
Thanks for the Help!
