How to check for multiple string matches with JavaScript?
To check for multiple string matches with JavaScript, we can use the JavaScript string’s match
method with a regex.
For instance, we write:
const str = 'audio video'
if (str.match(/(video|audio)/)) {
console.log('found')
} else {
console.log('not found')
}
to call str.match
with a regex.
Since 'audio'
and 'video'
are both in str
, str.match(/(video|audio)/)
returns true
.
