  1. Regular expressions normally begin and end with a / like
    /regular expression/

NOTES:

1) I didn't add the logic to this program to handle data that contains < and > and & data. Sometimes the code will work, sometimes it won't. I just created this program as toy to play with regular expession in JavaScript.

2) I don't validate any of the regular expression entered. If you enter an invalid regular expression the code usually just displays the results from the last valid regular expression
