Javascript regular expression match string to start with letter or number
javascript, jquery, match, regex
Solution
Use:
^[A-Z0-9]
With a case-insensitive modifier:
if(thestring.match(/^[A-Z0-9]/i)) {}
Demo
`\pL` and `\pN` are PCRE shortcodes and do not work in Javascript.
Problem
I am trying to see if my string starts with a letter or a number. I think I'm close, could anyone help me out? ``` if(thestring.match("/^[\pL\pN]/")) ```
