Regex: Find One or More Criminals in a Hunt

JavaScript
#1

Tell us what’s happening:
So I am using a separate ide for js to work through the problems and the only way I was able to solve this particular problem with my ide was to manually assign a string value to some variable s before matching it with my regex and finally taking the first index of the result. For example:

let text = “P1P5P4CCCP2P6P3”;

let myRegex = /C+/;

let result = text.match(myRegex);

console.log(result[0]);

However on FCC, it wants me to solve it in just 1 line of code which I think is impossible…

Your code so far
let myRegex = /C+/;


let reCriminals = /./; // Change this line

Hello!

I assume you didn’t try that code in the challenge, right? The tests are already setup for you, so the challenge asks you for only the regex. If you put that in the FCC editor, you should pass the tests :slight_smile:.
