regex match in match code example

Example 1: regex match exact string

you want to achieve a case insensitive match for the word "rocket" 
surrounded by non-alphanumeric characters. A regex that would work would be:

\W*((?i)rocket(?-i))\W*

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
}
