You can use it to process strings. I've seen it described as ctr + f on steroids. Except you can customize exactly what, how, and where to look for it.

For example I use it in my chess engine (current version not yet posted here) to analyze the notation for a move. It validates that the note is of the proper format, then uses the various parts of it to construct a Move object based on the information provided. I believe I also use it when making new Piece objects. I just pass a string to the Player class and it pulls it apart, identifies the type of Piece to create and the position to create it at.
