By using d{X,Y} quantifier we can match any string that contains a sequence of numbers X to Y from specified digits in a string.
NOTE:
<p>Click the below button to match a sequence of numbers from X to Y.</p> <input type="button" value="Click" onclick="mySearch()" /> <p id="myId"></p> <script> function mySearch() { var a = "525245, 45286012, 6215, 78452"; var b = /\d{5,6}/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 "525245, 45286012, 6215, 78452" to the variable a
, we need to match any string that contains a sequence of numbers X to Y, for that we are using d{X,Y}
quantifier in variable b
. var b = /\d{5,6}/g
here \d
is the metacharacter for finding a digit, {5,6} are the inputs of {X,Y}
for matching a sequence of 5-digit to 6-digit 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,Y}
quantifier matches any string that contains a sequence of X to Y (X=5 and Y=6) in a string with the help of global search g
and gives the output.
