Regex to match a word with + (plus) signs

Question

I\'ve spent some time, but still have to solution. I need regular expression that is able to match a words with signs in it (like c++) in string.

I\'ve used /\

Answer 1

As the others said, your problem isn't the + sign you've escaped correctly but the \b that is a zero-lenght char that match word boundary that takes place between word \w and non-word \W char.

There is also another mistake in your regex, you want to match char C (uppercase) with c++ (lowercase).To do so you have to change your regex to /\bc\+\+/ or use the i modifier to match case insensitive : /\bc\+\+/i
