The RegExp ^m Quantifier in JavaScript is used to find the match of any string which contains m at the beginning of it.
Syntax:
/^m/
or
new RegExp("^m")
Syntax with modifiers:
/\^m/g
or
new RegExp("^m", "g")
Example 1: This example matches the presence of word ‘Geeks’ at the beginning of the string.
Javascript
function geek() { let str1 = "Geeksfor123\nGeeks@" ; let regex4 = /^Geeks/gim; let match4 = str1.match(regex4); console.log( "Found " + match4.length + " matches: " + match4); } geek(); |
Found 2 matches: Geeks,Geeks
Example 2: This example replaces the character ‘@’ with ‘#’.
Javascript
function geek() { let str1 = "@128Geek" ; let regex4 = new RegExp( "^@" , "gi" ); let replace = "#" ; let match4 = str1.replace(regex4, replace); console.log( " New string: " + match4); } geek(); |
New string: #128Geek
