Finding emails in a div
The following code will find all email addresses in our text div on the right: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/finsweet/jqueryCourse/main/jsobjects/ex3.js?actionable=true
In the above code reg_pattern.exec() does a search on the example_string variable and stores its output in the result variable.
In this case the value of result is c.
We can also replace the patterned matched with an empty string with this line example_string.replace(reg_pattern, "")
We can write more complex regex to match sophisticated patterns.
Examples of complex regex include:
[^a-zA-Z] : Matches any string that does not contain characters ranging from a through z and A through Z.
[a-zA-Z0-9]* Matches all words in text. ^chapter : Matches any string which starts with chapter at the beginning of it.
/([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)/ : Matches any kind of email addresses.
