RegexdrillZero or more: log, log1, log2024
A regex exercise from Regexdrill. Solve it with a pattern box with live highlighting in your browser, checked against hidden test strings, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
The whole line must match. Match the word log followed by zero or more digits, so log, log1 and log2024 all match.
What this exercise teaches
log\d* takes the three letters and then as many digits as there are, including none. The plus sign would demand at least one digit and reject the plain word log.
A hint if you get stuck
The star means zero or more of the thing before it, so the digits may be missing altogether.
