Qu’est-ce qu’une Expression Régulière (Regex) ?

// Parse structured web server access logs
const logPattern = /^\[(?<timestamp>[^\]]+)\] "(?<method>[A-Z]+) (?<path>\/[^ ]*) HTTP\/(?<version>[\d.]+)" (?<status>\d{3}) (?<bytes>\d+)$/;

const match = logLine.match(logPattern);

if (match?.groups) {
  const { timestamp, method, path, status, bytes } = match.groups;
  console.log({
    time: timestamp,
    route: path,
    httpMethod: method,
    statusCode: Number(status),
    payloadBytes: Number(bytes),
  });
}
// Outputs: { time: '2026-10-05T02:00:00Z', route: '/api/v1/checkout', httpMethod: 'POST', statusCode: 200, payloadBytes: 4821 }

// Require 8-64 chars, at least 1 uppercase, 1 lowercase, 1 digit, 1 special char

function validatePassword(password) {
  // Always limit maximum length first to prevent CPU exhaustion!

    return false;
