# --description--
|
|
|
|
In the last challenge, you searched for the word `"Hello"` using the regular expression `/Hello/`. That regex searched for a literal match of the string `"Hello"`. Here's another example searching for a literal match of the string `"Kevin"`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
let testStr = "Hello, my name is Kevin.";
|
|
let testRegex = /Kevin/;
|
|
testRegex.test(testStr);
|
|
// Returns true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Any other forms of `"Kevin"` will not match. For example, the regex `/Kevin/` will not match `"kevin"` or `"KEVIN"`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
let wrongRegex = /kevin/;
|
|
wrongRegex.test(testStr);
|
|
// Returns false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A future challenge will show how to match those other forms as well.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Complete the regex `waldoRegex` to find `"Waldo"` in the string `waldoIsHiding` with a literal match.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
Your regex `waldoRegex` should find `"Waldo"`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(waldoRegex.test(waldoIsHiding));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your regex `waldoRegex` should not search for anything else.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(!waldoRegex.test('Somewhere is hiding in this text.'));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should perform a literal string match with your regex.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(!/\/.*\/i/.test(code));
|
|
```
|
|
