Todays regex had me confused! I kept thinking the solution was strings starting with v[aeiou]
, then strings ending [ing]
or [m|n]e
, but in the end the solution was a lot simpler.
The regex today was: [nm].$
This matches the end of strings (as indicated by the $
(dollar sign)). The regex itself matches n
or m
([nm]
) followed by exactly one character (.
(dot)).
This matches strings ending in ing
as well as strings ending in me
and ne
. Once again I was thinking way too complicated and didn’t see the pattern. I hope daily Regexle can sharpen my mind to recognise these sort of string patterns.
All in all it took me 24 tries and 4 regexes, my solution was /ing$|[mn].$/
, which matches the patterns but is unnecessarily complex.
