# Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Positive lookahead assertion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Text after the current location must match the assertion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` javascript
|
||
|
|
const RE_AS_BS = /aa(?=bb)/;
|
||
|
|
const match1 = RE_AS_BS.exec("aabb");
|
||
|
|
console.log(match1[0]); // 'aa'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Negative lookahead assertion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Text after the current location must not match the assertion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` javascript
|
||
|
|
const RE_AS_NO_BS = /aa(?!bb)/;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log(RE_AS_NO_BS.test("aabb")); // false
|
||
|
|
console.log(RE_AS_NO_BS.test("aab")); // true
|
||
|
|
console.log(RE_AS_NO_BS.test("aac")); // true
|
||
|
|
```
