+ to look for one or more characters and the asterisk * to look for zero or more characters. These are convenient but sometimes you want to match a certain range of patterns.
You can specify the lower and upper number of patterns with quantity specifiers. Quantity specifiers are used with curly brackets ({ and }). You put two numbers between the curly brackets - for the lower and upper number of patterns.
For example, to match only the letter a appearing between 3 and 5 times in the string "ah", your regex would be /a{3,5}h/.
let A4 = "aaaah";
let A2 = "aah";
let multipleA = /a{3,5}h/;
multipleA.test(A4); // Returns true
multipleA.test(A2); // Returns false
ohRegex to match only 3 to 6 letter h's in the word "Oh no".
"Ohh no"
testString: assert(!ohRegex.test("Ohh no"), 'Your regex should not match "Ohh no"');
- text: Your regex should match "Ohhh no"
testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhh no"), 'Your regex should match "Ohhh no"');
- text: Your regex should match "Ohhhh no"
testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhhh no"), 'Your regex should match "Ohhhh no"');
- text: Your regex should match "Ohhhhh no"
testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhhhh no"), 'Your regex should match "Ohhhhh no"');
- text: Your regex should match "Ohhhhhh no"
testString: assert(ohRegex.test("Ohhhhhh no"), 'Your regex should match "Ohhhhhh no"');
- text: Your regex should not match "Ohhhhhhh no"
testString: assert(!ohRegex.test("Ohhhhhhh no"), 'Your regex should not match "Ohhhhhhh no"');
