How to read and parse regular expressions from configuration files or user input in Golang?

To read and parse regular expressions from configuration files or user input in Golang, you can use the regexp package provided by the standard library. Here's a step-by-step guide to accomplish this:

Import the regexp package:

import "regexp"

Read the regular expression string from the configuration file or user input.
Use the regexp.Compile function to compile the regular expression string into a regular expression object:

regex, err := regexp.Compile(regExpString)
if err != nil {
    // Handle error if the regular expression is invalid
}

Use the compiled regular expression object to perform matching or other operations:

matched := regex.MatchString(inputString)
if matched {
    // Regular expression matches inputString
} else {
    // Regular expression does not match inputString
}

You can also use additional methods provided by the regexp package, such as FindString, FindAllString, ReplaceAllString, etc., to perform more complex operations on the input string using the regular expression.

Remember to handle errors appropriately when parsing the regular expression string to avoid potential issues.
