regex if not match code example
Example 1: regex match any number
For matching an integer number of one single char/digit, specify:
[0-9]
But for matching any number of more than one char/digit; add "+":
[0-9]+
Example for matching hour with minutes of HH:MM format in a file:
grep "[0-9]\+\:[0-9]\+" file.txt
Example 2: match regex
const regex = /([a-z]*)ball/g;
const str = "basketball football baseball";
let result;
while((result = regex.exec(str)) !== null) {
console.log(result[1]);
// => basket
// => foot
// => base
}
