[Solved] Not able to get Regular Expression in javascript

Question

You need to check for anchors (^ and $ forcing the check at the beginning and end of the string) as well, not just the patterns.

^\d{4}-[a-z]{4}-\d{5}$

Use with i option to ignore letter case.

Sample code:

var re = /^\d{4}-[a-z]{4}-\d{5}$/i; 
var str="1234-abcd-12345";
     
if (re.test(str)) {
   alert("found");
}
