I want to check if a string have all input keywords in any order of the string. In much cases, the keywords are in any order, but exists in string.
Example(this is what I expect):
// Same order and have all keywords
"Hello world!".contains( "hello world" ) // true
// Same order and have all keywords
"Hello all in the world!".contains( "hello world" ) // true
// Any order but have all keywords
"Hello world!".contains( "world hello" ) // true
// Same order and all keywords
"Hello world!".contains( "worl hell" ) // true
// Have all keywords in any order
"Hello world!".contains( "world" ) // true
// No contains all keywords
"Hello world!".contains( "where you go" ) // false
// No contains all keywords
"Hello world!".contains( "z" ) // false
// No contains all keywords
"Hello world!".contains( "z1 z2 z3" ) // false
// Contains all keywords in any order
"Hello world!".contains( "wo" ) // true
I try with:
/(?=\bhello\b)(?=\bworld\b)/i.test("hello world") // false
/(?=.*?hello.*?)(?=.*?world.*?)/i.test("hello world") // false
/^(?=\bhello\b)(?=\bworld\b).*?$/i.test("hello world") // false
I created some functions like:
// escape string to use in regexp
String.prototype.escape = function () {
return this.replace(/[\-\[\]\/\{\}\(\)\*\+\?\.\\\^\$\|]/g, "\\$&")
};
// check if empty string
String.prototype.isEmpty = function () {
return this.length === 0;
};
// check if contain keywords...
String.prototype.contains = function (keywords) {
var value = '^(?=\\b' + keywords
.escape()
.replace(/(^\s+|\s+$)/ig, '')
.replace(/\s+/, ' ')
.split(/\s+/)
.join('.*?)(?=.*?') + ').*$',
reg = new RegExp(value, 'i'),
text = this;
return reg.test( this );
};
Thanks

- @LukStorms i want check if have all keywords in any order. Thanks – Olaf Erlandsen Commented Jan 19, 2017 at 17:32

@I.G.Pascual no, no is duplicated. See this example:
"Hello all in the world!".contains( "hello world" )
I want this returntrue
because have all keywords in any order – Olaf Erlandsen Commented Jan 19, 2017 at 17:58 -
@OlafErlandsen Its confusing.
"Hello world!".contains( "world" )
. This example has just one keyword and the output is true. – pratZ Commented Jan 19, 2017 at 18:00 - 1 Oh, BTW, Don't modify String.prototype!!! books.google.es/… , what you're doing is a plete madness, all the other js libraries you import depending on it could stop working!! – I.G.

Reset to default 7The answer from I.G. Pascual shows how to construct a regex that solves the OP's problem. Below is working code demonstrating how to build such regexes dynamically, passing all the test cases from the OP.
function buildRegEx(str, keywords){
return new RegExp("(?=.*?\\b" +
keywords
.split(" ")
.join(")(?=.*?\\b") +
").*",
"i"
);
}
function test(str, keywords, expected){
var result = buildRegEx(str, keywords).test(str) === expected
console.log(result ? "Passed" : "Failed");
}
// Same order and have all keywords
test("Hello world!", "hello world", true);
// Same order and have all keywords
test("Hello all in the world!", "hello world", true);
// Any order but have all keywords
test("Hello world!", "world hello", true);
// Same order and all keywords
test("Hello world!", "worl hell", true);
// Have all keywords in any order
test("Hello world!", "world", true);
// No contains all keywords
test("Hello world!", "where you go", false);
// No contains all keywords
test("Hello world!", "z", false);
// No contains all keywords
test("Hello world!", "z1 z2 z3", false);
// Contains all keywords in any order
test("Hello world!", "wo", true);
You mean an unordered list of keywords: Regex - match multiple unordered words in a string, but removing the last \b
part of each regex token
/(?=.*?\bhello)(?=.*?\bworld).*/i
With these type of regex all your test should pass now.
Check it in http://regexr./3f3ru
i
makes it to ignore case sensitive, in case you need to check also Hello, wOrld, etc
String.prototype.contains = function(string){
var keywords = string.split(" ");
var contain = true;
for(var i = 0; i < keywords.length && contain; i++){
if(keywords[i] == "") continue;
var regex = new RegExp(keywords[i], "i");
contain = contain && regex.test(this);
}
return contain;
}
An alternative to the lookahead-based option would be:
String.prototype.contains = function (keywordsStr) {
var keywords = keywordsStr.split(/\s+/);
return keywords.every(function(keyword)) {
var reg = new RegExp(keyword.escape());
return reg.test(this);
}, this);
};
It's easy way to use .match() method to string. You can try this
Example:
var re = /(hello|world)/i;
var str = "Hello world!";
console.log('Do we found something?', Boolean(str.match(re)));
// for other
var re = /(hello|world)/i; // true
var re = /(world|hello)/i; // true
var re = /(worl|hell)/i; // true
var re = /(this|is|my|world)/i; // true
var re = /(where|you|go)/i; // false
var re = /(z)/i; // false
var re = /(z1|z2|z3)/i; // false
var re = /(wo)/i; // true
result.filter(camp => search.map(keyword => camp.name.includes(keyword)).reduce((acc, curr) => acc && curr, true));
