Does \w also match numbers?

Question

I would expect that this

var r = new RegExp(\'\\\\s\\\\@[0-9a-z]+\\\\s\', \'gi\');

applied to this string

1 @bar @foo2 * 112
         


        

Answer 1

Yes, \w does match latin numbers. \w == [A-Za-z0-9_]

Assuming you want to remove @fooX, you can use:

console.log("1 @bar @foo2 * 112".replace(/\s@\w+/g, ""));
