class

Character class []

An object that conforms to certain characteristics
/[ABC] / means to match one of ABC

• The reverse class [^] is enclosed in brackets^

Example: [^ A] is to match characters that are not a

Range class [A-Z]

It can match any character in A-Z

Predefined Class

• Predefined characters:

\D is a number

• Boundary character

\B is the boundary
^It means to match the beginning outside
$means to match the ending

classifier

{n} The length of the matching string is n

The minimum length of {m, n} matching string is m and the maximum length is n
The minimum length of {m,} matching string is m and the maximum is infinite
The minimum length of {0, n} matching string is empty and the maximum length is n
+Occurrence times > = 1
*Current frequency > = 0
？ Occurrence times 0 or 1
. can match any character except the newline character in the white space character

Greedy mode

• 12345678. Replace (/ \ D {3,6} /,’x ‘) output X78

Non greedy mode

Just add a question mark after the quantifier

• 12345678.replace（/\d{3,6}？ /’x’) outputs xx78 to try the least possible match

grouping

Use () to make the quantifier most used in groups rather than the words next to it

‘a1b2c3d4’.replace(/([a-z]\d){3}/g)，‘x’)
Output xd4

or

a|b

Back reference

$reference (capture)

Replace December 5, 2019 with 12 / 05 / 2019

‘2019-12-05’.replace(‘/(/d{4}-(\d{2})-(/d{2}))/g’,’$2/$3/$1′)
$is captured in groups

When you don’t want to capture a group, you just need to add the? ：
(?: Gray). (OK) here $1 is OK
