line beginning regex code example
Example 1: regex start line
// Match from the start of the line
^
//example:
let str = "HELLO hello world"
let reg = /hello/g //g option: doesn't stop at first match
str.match(reg) // Array(2)["HELLO", "hello"]
reg = /^hello/g //match hello at the start of the string
str.match(reg) // Array(1)["HELLO"]
Example 2: regex first in line
Just use "^" to specify matching a pattern at the beginning of each line.
Example with grep:
grep "^pattern" file.txt
