This code not running when put Textx-yz but runs fine when put Textx-y

I want to alert when same string match also

alert('Textabc Textx-yz TextTypeTestingText'.match(/Textx-yz\S /)[0])

CodePudding user response：

you can use word boundaries and exact match to get this match:

\b(Textx\-yz) \b

\b - searches whole words only

and in between we tell it what we want to find

CodePudding user response：

If I understand what you mean you can this pattern:

'Textabc Textx-yz TextTypeTestingText'.match(/Textx-yz \S /)[0]

Actually I add a space after -yz in match method
