Find the time as hh:mm or hh-mm
The time can be in the format hours:minutes
or hours-minutes
. Both hours and minutes have 2 digits: 09:00
or 21-30
.
Write a regexp to find time:
let regexp = /your regexp/g;
alert( "Breakfast at 09:00. Dinner at 21-30".match(regexp) ); // 09:00, 21-30
P.S. In this task we assume that the time is always correct, there???s no need to filter out bad strings like ???45:67???. Later we???ll deal with that too.
Answer: \d\d[-:]\d\d
.
let regexp = /\d\d[-:]\d\d/g;
alert( "Breakfast at 09:00. Dinner at 21-30".match(regexp) ); // 09:00, 21-30
Please note that the dash '-'
has a special meaning in square brackets, but only between other characters, not when it???s in the beginning or at the end, so we don???t need to escape it.
