Quantifiers in regular expressions determine how many characters are matched. If you're matching too few or too many characters, you'll need to learn how to use quantifiers whether for regular expressions in C#, JavaScript, Python, or Java.

The approach is the same in multiple programming languages, and the main regex quantifiers you need to know are the + quantifier, * quantifier, ? quantifier, and {n} quantifier.

Some variations of these can be considered greedy quantifiers while others are lazy (non-greedy) quantifiers, but that's a bit too advanced for this beginner regex tutorial, so I'll leave you with a link to a regex cheat sheet if you'd like to learn more about them.

I use regex101 to test my regex patterns, but you can use any online regex tester that meets your needs.
