By using d{X} quantifier we can match any string that contains a sequence of X from specified digits in a string.
NOTE:
<p>Click the below button to match a sequence of numbers.</p> <input type="button" value="Click" onclick="mySearch()" /> <p id="myId"></p> <script> function mySearch() { var a = "5252, 45286, 621522, 7845251"; var b = /\d{3}/g; var r = a.match(b); document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = r; } </script>
In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId"to the second <p> element in the HTML code. There is a function mySearch() in the<script>block which is connected to the onclick of the HTML button and there is a string with value "5252, 45286, 621522, 7845251" to the variable a, we need to match any string that contains a sequence of X from a specified digits, for that we are using d{X} quantifier in variable b. var b = /\d{3}/g here \d is the metacharacter for finding a digit, 3 is the input character for matching a 3-digit sequence of numbers and g do the global search in a string, varaible r returns the matched sequence result. Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML code fires the function mySearch() in the <script> block at the same time d{X} quantifier matches any string that contains a sequence of X (X=3) in a string with the help of global search g and gives the output.
