Beginner Tips

  • Start with the g flag to find all matches, not just the first.
  • Use i flag to ignore uppercase/lowercase differences.
  • \d = any digit, \w = any letter/digit/underscore, \s = any whitespace.
  • Wrap parts in ( ) to create capture groups — shown in Match Details above.
  • Use ^ and $ to match the start and end of the whole string.
  • Escape special characters with \ — e.g. \. matches a literal dot.
