Target Language

What should it match?

2. Your Optimized Prompt

Act as a Senior Software Engineer and Regular Expression (Regex) expert.

I need a Regex pattern that does exactly the following:
"[DESCRIBE WHAT YOU WANT TO MATCH HERE]"

Please provide your response in the following format:
1. **The Exact Regex Pattern**: Just the pattern inside code blocks.
2. **Code Snippet**: Provide a short, production-ready code snippet in **JavaScript** that demonstrates how to implement and use this regex safely.
3. **Breakdown**: A concise, step-by-step explanation of what each token or group does so I can understand and maintain it.
4. **Test Cases**: 
   - Show 3 examples of strings that MATCH.
   - Show 3 examples of strings that DO NOT MATCH.

Paste this exactly into ChatGPT to get your production-ready Regex.
