Match word with Regex (at the beginning, the end or in the middle) of text -
i wondered if possible using 1 single regex pattern find word in string wherever located.
let's want find word of 6 letters starting capital 'b' , ending lower 'r', sake let's use word 'butter'.
i want match within these sentences:
"butter good" "i love butter" "where butter is?"
but don't want match these:
"zzzbutter good" "i love zzzbutter"
using simple pattern this: "/(b[a-z]{4}r)/i"
isn't enough...
any idea if possible done in 1 single regex?
you can use regex word boundaries on each side:
/\bb[a-z]{4}r\b/i
