## Find Characters with Lazy Matching
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Challange:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fix the regex `/<.*>/` to return the HTML tag `<h1>` and not the text `<h1>Winter is coming</h1>`. Remember the wildcard . in a regular expression matches any character.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Solution:
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
let text = "<h1>Winter is coming</h1>";
|
||
|
|
let myRegex = /<h1>?/; // it's the answer!
|
||
|
|
let result = text.match(myRegex);
|
||
|
|
```
