Regular expression to find words that begin and end with

Issue

Good evening, (sorry for my English is not my native language) I'd like to find words in HTML text. I don't get what I want and I ask for help. Sample text:

<div class="text-slate-500 text-white text-5xl bg-white bg-slate-600 bg-red/5 ....."> </div>

I should like to find only the words that begin with bg- or text- and ends with 0

This is the best result I've been able to get, but what's missing to find final 0?

\b(bg-\w*)\b

\b(text-\w*)\b

😀 Thanks for help!

I've tried several formulas found on the net, I've tried to look for other posts here but I couldn't get anything better.

/(bg.*00)/g

Solution

Try \b(bg-[\w-]*0)\b. - isn't covered by \w and thus your existing patterns would not match bg-slate-600, so we add it in as a possibility in a list with [\w-]. This is the same as [a-zA-Z0-9_-]. Then add 0 to the end of the capture group before the word boundary (\b) for the stipulation that it should match an ending 0.

• \b(bg-[\w-]*0)\b on regex101
• \b(text-[\w-]*0)\b on regex101
