How does it work?

Simply put, the expression engine is a set of pre-defined commands that once you master, will help you structure data in virtually any way possible. For example, you will be able to remove text, create more complete product titles by combining attributes (i.e. brand + title), replace values, perform calculations and much more.

In more technical terms, the expression engine is a set of regular expressions (regex). If you are already familiar with the regex language, then you will find this tool extremely simple and straightforward.
