For a REST call I am getting response back. I am getting response as:

call_name response_code OK

Now I want to give an if condition if my response code is either 200 or 201. So what is the regex pattern that I should use?

Example:

response.body = getOtp 200 OK

if(response.body.match()) {
    console.log("hello");
}

• javascript
• regex

• should it be if {} else {} condition for 200 and 201 code? – RomanPerekhrest Commented Feb 23, 2017 at 19:33
• 1 How are you making your request. You should be able to access the status code directly without using regex. see stackoverflow./questions/5344145/… and developer.mozilla/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/status – Theo Commented Feb 23, 2017 at 20:04

You can use character set to match either 200 or 201 codes:

var response = {body:"getOtp 200 OK"};

if(response.body.match(/20[01] OK/)){
    console.log("Matching");
}

if(response.body.match(/20[01]/) && reponse.body.match(/\bOK\b/)){
    console.log("hello");
}

Hope it helps. Didn't get to test it, but It should work just fine.

if(response.body.match(/200|201/){
    console.log("hello");
}

I had the same question as OP. However I ran into a problem:

"___.match is not a function"

Thought I'd share what solved it for me:

if (String(response.status).match(/20[01]/)) {
    // do stuff
}
