Regex is a core concept of most programming languages. C, Java, even JavaScript, have a regex function (heck, I think you can write an Excel formula using the premise of regex). A number of text editors like Notepad++ have a regex search and old school editors like Vi do it too. But regex itself is not a programming language. It's a way to look for something based on parameters you define and replace that something with something else.
