As we said in the previous section natural-regex is also available as a command line tool from npm. Using this, you can easily try your regex without running your app, so, it is an interesting tool for this reason. There are also performance reasons that we have explained here.

^(Lorem)\s(foo|bar) // this is the string that represents the regex
