title: Match Ending String Patterns
challengeType: 1
---
## Description
In the last challenge, you learned to use the caret character to search for patterns at the beginning of strings. There is also a way to search for patterns at the end of strings.
You can search the end of strings using the dollar sign character $ at the end of the regex.
let theEnding = "This is a never ending story";
let storyRegex = /story$/;
storyRegex.test(theEnding);
// Returns true
let noEnding = "Sometimes a story will have to end";
storyRegex.test(noEnding);
// Returns false
## Instructions
Use the anchor character ($) to match the string "caboose" at the end of the string caboose.
## Tests
```yml
tests:
- text: You should search for "caboose" with the dollar sign $ anchor in your regex.
testString: 'assert(lastRegex.source == "caboose$", "You should search for "caboose" with the dollar sign $ anchor in your regex.");'
- text: Your regex should not use any flags.
testString: 'assert(lastRegex.flags == "", "Your regex should not use any flags.");'
- text: You should match "caboose" at the end of the string "The last car on a train is the caboose"
testString: 'assert(lastRegex.test("The last car on a train is the caboose"), "You should match "caboose" at the end of the string "The last car on a train is the caboose"");'
```
## Challenge Seed
