Sift through Text with Regular Expressions

Regular expressions are used to find certain words or patterns inside of strings.

Regular expressions are usually surrounded by / symbols.

For example, if we wanted to find the number of times the word the occurred in the string The dog chased the cat, we could use the following regular expression: /the+/gi

Let's break this down a bit:

the is the pattern we want to match.

  • + means we want to find one or more occurrences of this pattern.
  • g means that we want to search the entire string for this pattern.
  • i means that we want to ignore the case (uppercase or lowercase) when searching for the pattern.
