Print it out.

Cut the paper into the relevant parts.

Write down what it does plus an example.

Reconstruct.

@IntrusionCM Save some paper and use https://regexr.com/ instead. But basically what you said: Break down and reconstruct.

Google "regex explainer". You'll get tons of on-line solutions and probably some off-line plug-ins for your IDE. Regex is not magic.
