preg_match in JavaScript?

Question

Is it possible in JavaScript to do something like preg_match does in PHP ?

I would like to be able to get two numbers from str

Answer 1

Some Googling brought me to this :

function preg_match (regex, str) {
  return (new RegExp(regex).test(str))
}
console.log(preg_match("^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$","test"))
console.log(preg_match("^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$","what@google.com"))
