Hi! I am Riyad. I can’t understand or remember Whar is the meaning of “+” in the regex /ab+/ ? Please help me with this one guys!!
It matches “one or more occurences” of the preceding symbol.
So your example would match “ab” or “abb” or “abbb” and so on.
I think the symbol * is responsible for matching “ab” or “abb” or “abbb” and so on. Isn’t it @colinthornton ?
That one matches zero or more occurences, so it would also match just “a”.
So, + symbol matches one or more occurrences but * matches zero or more occurrences. Isn’t it?
You got that right. I like to use this site to check my regex.
It has some good explanations on the cheatsheet.
