javascript regex

//Declare Reg using slash
let reg = /abc/
//Declare using class, useful for buil a RegExp from a variable
reg = new RegExp('abc')

//Option you must know: i -> Not case sensitive, g -> match all the string
let str = 'Abc abc abc'
str.match(/abc/) //Array(1) ["abc"] match only the first and return
str.match(/abc/g) //Array(2) ["abc","abc"] match all
str.match(/abc/i) //Array(1) ["Abc"] not case sensitive
str.match(/abc/ig) //Array(3) ["Abc","abc","abc"]
//the equivalent with new RegExp is
str.match('abc', 'ig') //Array(3) ["Abc","abc","abc"]

regex js

'string'.match(/regex/);
  console.log('The 1quick5'.match(/[0-9]/g)); // ['1', '5']

/regex/.test('string');
console.log(new RegExp('foo*').test('table football')); //true

javascript regex

const text="The quick brown FOX jumps over the lazy dog. The Fox..."

const regexLiteral = /fox/i; // Word fox case insensitive
const regex = new RegExp('fox', "i" /*case insenitive flag*/);
console.log(regex.toString()) // Outputs /fox/i => The definitions are the same

// Usage
const indexOfTheFirstMatch = text.search(/fox/i) // indexOfTheFirstMatch = 16
const withLowerCaseFirstFox = text.replace(/fox/i, "fox");
// The first occurrence of fox is uncapitalized. withLowerCaseFirstFox is 
// "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The Fox..."
const withLowerCaseFox = text.replace(/fox/gi, "fox");
// All occurrences of  word fox are uncapitalized. withLowerCaseFox is 
// "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The fox..."
// text.replaceAll(/fox/i, "fox") is equivalent to text.replace(/fox/gi, "fox")

const firstFoxText = text.match(/fox/g); // firstFoxText = ["FOX"] 
const foxOccurences = text.match(/fox/gi) // foxOccurences = ["FOX","Fox"]

// Check also regex methods: regex.match(), search(), replace(), etc.

regex javscript

======
Match:
======

	[^pe]000 = except p and e everything match
	
	[pe]000	= only match p and e

=======
Ranges:
=======

	[a-z] , [b-h], [start, end]
	
	[a-zA-Z] -  both uppercase, lowercase
	
	[0-9] - 0 to 9 only
	
	but how 11 digits?? not single number??
	
	[0-9]+ - unlimited digits
	
	[0-9]{11} - only 11 digits
	
	[a-z]{11} - 11 letter word
	
	[a-z]{5,8} - 5 chars upto 8 chars
	
	[a-z]{5,} - minimum 5 and unlimited
	

==============
MetaCharacters:
==============
	
	Must have backslash on front otherwise it will behave as char...

	d - match any digit character (same as [0-9]) 
	w - match any word character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ underscores)
	s - match a whitespace char (spaces, tabs etc)
		 - match a tab char only
	
	EX:  d{3}sw{5}  -> first 3 numbers then space then 5 word chars
	
==============
Special Characters:
==============	

		+  -> one or more quantifier
	 
          ->  escape character or backslash
	
       []  ->   charset
	
       [^] ->	negate
       
       ?   ->   zero or 1     ex: a[a-z]?   must have a after that optional
       
       .   ->  any char except new line   
       			
       			 ex:  car.    carx true not newline char
       			 ex:  .+  any length string
       			 
       *   ->  0 or more bit like +
       
	       		ex: abc* - now include * aswell for match
       
       examples:
       
       ^w{5}$ -> must be 5 words for match
       
       			^ -> start
       			$ -> end
