Hello!
Does anyone know if there is a maximum number or words/strings you can use in regex alternations?
(Ex: OH | Ohio | PA | Pennsylvania | RI | Rhode Island |...)
I know regex's are fast but if there is a limit or if hundreds of words in the alternation would slow it down to a crawl, I would greatly appreciate knowing this prior to building my expressions.
Thanks!
