How to create a regular expression for these sentences?

Question

I'm learning regular expressions and want to help me to create a regular expression in JavaScript for the following situation:

1- I want detect when the user puts this in a textbox: "Please read out the results " or "can you please list the results ?"

The regular expressions must detect [read out|list] (any word) results

How can create this regular expression in JavaScript?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Answer 1

这个正则表达式应该工作：

/(read out|list) \w+ results/

Answer 2

这个：

((read out)|(list))([a-zA-Z ])*(results)

Answer 3

Maybe this one?

(read out|list)(.*?)(results)

Answer 4

This might work with your problem:

(?:^|\b)(read out|list)\s(\w+)\s(results?)(?:\b|$)

I added \\b at the begining to make sure it doesn't match with "playlist with result" for example
