Yeah. I find myself in TW so often, and the regex support is so good,nd
you can shove whatever content you want into the document to test
multiple use cases and so on. It's handy.

As others have mentioned, not all applications support regex in the same
manner. In those cases, you'll have to edit the expression to use
alternative methods.
