Return true/false for a matched/not matched regex

Question

I have this regex on Javascript

var myS = \"00 - ??:??:?? - a\";
var removedTL = myS.match(/^(\\d\\d) - (\\?\\?|10|0\\d):(\\?\\?|[0-5]\\d):(\\?\\?|[0-5]\\d)          


        

Answer 1

The more appropriate function here might be RegExp.test, which explicitly gives you true or false.

console.log(/lolcakes/.test("some string"));
// Output: false

console.log(/lolcakes/.test("some lolcakes"));
// Output: true
