To match a regex in a repetitive pattern, you can use quantifiers such as "*", "+", or "{n,}" to specify the number of times a specific character or group of characters should be repeated. Here are some examples:

  1. Using the "" quantifier to match zero or more occurrences of a character: Regex: "a" This will match any string that contains zero or more occurrences of the character "a".
  2. Using the "+" quantifier to match one or more occurrences of a character: Regex: "a+" This will match any string that contains one or more occurrences of the character "a".
  3. Using the "{n,}" quantifier to match a specific number of occurrences of a character: Regex: "a{2,4}" This will match any string that contains between 2 and 4 occurrences of the character "a".


By using these quantifiers in your regex pattern, you can match repetitive patterns in a string efficiently.
