Check whether a string matches a regex in JS

Question

I want to use JavaScript (can be with jQuery) to do some client-side validation to check whether a string matches the regex:

^([a-z0-9]{5,})$

Answer 1

const regExpStr = "^([a-z0-9]{5,})$"
const result = new RegExp(regExpStr, 'g').test("Your string") // here I have used 'g' which means global search
console.log(result) // true if it matched, false if it doesn't

Answer 2

 let str = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
 let regexp = /[a-d]/gi;
 console.log(str.match(regexp));

Answer 3

Use test() method :

var term = "sample1";
var re = new RegExp("^([a-z0-9]{5,})$");
if (re.test(term)) {
    console.log("Valid");
} else {
    console.log("Invalid");
}

Answer 4

You can try this, it works for me.

 <input type="text"  onchange="CheckValidAmount(this.value)" name="amount" required>

 <script type="text/javascript">
    function CheckValidAmount(amount) {          
       var a = /^(?:\d{1,3}(?:,\d{3})*|\d+)(?:\.\d+)?$/;
       if(amount.match(a)){
           alert("matches");
       }else{
        alert("does not match"); 
       }
    }
</script>

Answer 5

please try this flower:

/^[a-z0-9\_\.\-]{2,20}\@[a-z0-9\_\-]{2,20}\.[a-z]{2,9}$/.test('abc@abc.abc');

true

Answer 6

Use regex.test() if all you want is a boolean result:

console.log(/^([a-z0-9]{5,})$/.test('abc1')); // false

console.log(/^([a-z0-9]{5,})$/.test('abc12')); // true

console.log(/^([a-z0-9]{5,})$/.test('abc123')); // true

...and you could remove the () from your regexp since you've no need for a capture.
