Javascript Regex Test
regexObj.test(str)
The test() method executes a search for a match between a regular expression and
a specified string. Returns true or false.
Use test() whenever you want to know whether a pattern is found in a string
(similar to the String.prototype.search() method, difference is that test
returns a boolean, whilst search returns the index (if found) or -1 if not
found); for more information (but slower execution) use the exec() method
(similar to the String.prototype.match() method). As with exec() (or in
combination with it), test() called multiple times on the same global regular
expression instance will advance past the previous match.
var str = "hello world!";
var result = /^hello/.test(str);
console.log(result); // true
