Regular Expressions (RegEx)
Basic Pattern Matching
Regular expressions (RegEx) help match patterns in strings, useful for searching and text manipulation.
- RegEx patterns use special characters to define search criteria.
- Common patterns: `\d` (digit), `\w` (word character), `.` (any character).
- Flags modify behavior: `/pattern/g` (global), `/pattern/i` (case-insensitive).
const text = "The number is 42."; const pattern = /\d+/g; // Matches one or more digits console.log(text.match(pattern)); // ["42"] const caseInsensitive = /hello/i; console.log(caseInsensitive.test("HELLO")); // true
