What regular expression would I use to find the word “oy”?

Question

What is regular expression would I use to find the word "oy"? I need it to work in a userscript. Also, I have to make sure it doesn't remove words that contain "oy", like "Olive Oyl".

Answer 1

You need /\\boy\\b/g .

Explanation:

The \\b means word boundary (start or end of a word). The g on the end means to search for more than one occurence (global). Finally, if you want the search to be case insensitive, add an i after the g :

/\boy\b/gi

To remove all "oy" words in a string str , you do:

str.replace(/\boy\b/gi, "");

Answer 2

/\boy\b/g

将是字面正则表达式。

Answer 3

I'd suggest trying /\\boy... Oh nevermind.

It is a bit hard to find questions easy enough to solve that haven't already been answered to death, right? Right?
