I used regex in this game I made within Bluebeam.
See the attached PDF and screenshot.
The screenshot was taken from the code attached to any of the Square buttons (Square1, Square2, etc…)
Basically, the code that uses the regex loops through all the gray/cyan buttons to see if any of them are cyan to test for a win/lose condition. Since there are a couple other buttons, I wanted this particular for loop to ignore those. That’s why all the buttons have a consistent naming scheme. The regex looks for form fields with the word “Square” followed by 1 or 2 digits, and ignores everything else.
If you’d like a free, interactive place to learn and practice some regular expressions, I recommend Free Code Camp. They have a course called JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures (https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/). The Regular Expressions are the 3rd section when you scroll down.
I also just found this site 5 seconds ago that seems like it would be very helpful (and free): https://regexlearn.com/learn/regex101
Hopefully this gets your brain thinking about methods to condense some of your functions and how you can then combine some of your functions into a single function. Good luck and let me know if you need anymore help!
