Повторное использование шаблонов с использованием групп захвата
Some patterns you search for will occur multiple times in a string. It is wasteful to manually repeat that regex. There is a better way to specify when you have multiple repeat substrings in your string.
You can search for repeat substrings using capture groups
. Parentheses, (
and )
, are used to find repeat substrings. You put the regex of the pattern that will repeat in between the parentheses.
To specify where that repeat string will appear, you use a backslash (\
) and then a number. This number starts at 1 and increases with each additional capture group you use. An example would be \1
to match the first group.
The example below matches any word that occurs twice separated by a space:
let repeatStr = "regex regex";
let repeatRegex = /(\w+)\s\1/;
repeatRegex.test(repeatStr); // Returns true
repeatStr.match(repeatRegex); // Returns ["regex regex", "regex"]
Using the .match()
method on a string will return an array with the string it matches, along with its capture group.
Use capture groups
in reRegex
to match numbers that are repeated only three times in a string, each separated by a space.
