How to check if entire string matches regular expression in Javascript?












0















Is there a function in javascript which checks if entire string matches some regular expression



'00'.match(/^0|([1-9][0-9]*)$/g) for example returns ['0']



I know I can simply check if the matched part is equal to the string, but I'm just curious if such function already exists



edit:



'01'.match(/^0|1$/g) returns ['0', '1']
and '01'.match(/^(0|1)$/g) returns null as expected.



I though | has precedence over ^ or $. Can someone explain what /^0|1$/g actually matches?

    /^0|1$/g matches a 0 at the beginning of the string or a 1 at the end of the string.

I don't know what you exacty want to achieve. I suppose you want to match eiter zero or a number, not beginning with zero. Then try this:



'00'.match(/^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$/g)


This does not match '00', but all the other cases.

            count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

            up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k?

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
