Concatenation

This function takes two string parameters A and B and returns a string that represents B appended to the end of A.

Substring

This function takes a string parameter A and two numeric parameters, X and Y, and returns a sub-string of A that comprises from the character at the index X to that at Y, given that strings' total range spans from 0 to n-1, where n is the number of characters of the string.

If you need more information about regular expressions and how they can be created, please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression. However, you won't always need to build your own regular expressions, for the Justinmind Prototyper provides some of the most useful constructions ready-to-use.
