matchesWhole

matchesWhole(string, pattern) → boolean · String

Test if a string matches a pattern completely (entire string must match, not just a substring). Equivalent to anchoring with ^...$.

• string (required): the string to test

• pattern (required): regular expression pattern

{
  full: matchesWhole("abc123", "[a-z]+[0-9]+"),      // true (whole string matches)
  partial: matchesWhole("abc123xyz", "[a-z]+[0-9]+") // false (trailing "xyz" prevents full match)
}
