String pattern matching in Javascript
- by kwokwai
Hi all,
I am doing some self learning about Patern Matching in Javascript.
I got a simple input text field in a HTML web page,
and I have done some Javascript to capture the string and check if there
are any strange characters other than numbers and characters in the string.
But I am not sure if it is correct.
Only numbers, characters or a mixture of numbers and characters are allowed.
var pattern = /^[a-z]+|[A-Z]+|[0-9]+$/;
And I have another question about Pattern Matching in Javascript,
what does the percentage symbol mean in Pattern matching.
For example:
var pattern = '/[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}/';
