 * A string pattern defines a pattern to which you can match strings to see if
 * they share a similar pattern. Examples of string patterns are:
 *
 * 
    *
  • The pattern "Aaaaaa Aaaaaaaaaa" which is a typical firstname and lastname * pattern.
  • *
  • The pattern ".*@.*" which is a simple way to identify strings with an * '@'-sign in them (potential email).
