jQuery selector regular expressions

javascript jquery regex jquery-selectors

You can use the filter function to apply more complicated regex matching.

Here's an example which would just match the first three divs:

$('div')  .filter(function() {    return this.id.match(/abc+d/);  })  .html("Matched!");

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script><div id="abcd">Not matched</div><div id="abccd">Not matched</div><div id="abcccd">Not matched</div><div id="abd">Not matched</div>
