How to match a set of characters (letter + any single character from set + letter) using RegEx in TypeScript

1 Answer

0 votes
// b[aeou]y: This pattern looks for strings that match the following:
// b: The letter "b".
// [aeou]: Any single character that is either "a", "e", "o", or "u".
// y: The letter "y".

function checkPattern(pattern: string, text: string): boolean {
    const re: RegExp = new RegExp(pattern, 'i');
    
    return re.test(text);
}

const pattern: string = "b[aeou]y";

console.log(checkPattern(pattern, "A smart boy")); // b o y
console.log(checkPattern(pattern, "I want to buy this laptop")); // b u y
console.log(checkPattern(pattern, "baay"));
console.log(checkPattern(pattern, "baeouy"));
console.log(checkPattern(pattern, "baey"));
console.log(checkPattern(pattern, "This is beauty"));
console.log(checkPattern(pattern, "A programming book"));
