I want to use JavaScript (I can also use jQuery) to do check whether a string matches the regex ^([a-z0-9]{5,})$
, and get a true
or false
result.
match()
seems to check whether part of a string matches a regex, not the whole thing. Does it solve the problem? Can I adapt it to solve the problem? How?
Best Answer
Use
regex.test()
if all you want is a boolean result:...and you could remove the
()
from your regexp since you've no need for a capture.
