How can I match filenames that start with a given string using a RegEx in JavaScript?

Question

I am looking for a JavaScript RegEx that matches all woff and woff2 files that start with a particular String, i.e. MyFont.

The following examples should match:

MyFont-bold.woff
MyFont-light.woff2

The following example should not match:

GoogleFont-bold.woff
SomeOtherFont-light.woff2
MyFont-something.css

^MyFont.*.woff2?$/ would work.

var regex = /^MyFont.*.woff2?$/

console.log(regex.test('MyFont-bold.woff'))
console.log(regex.test('MyFont-light.woff2'))
console.log(regex.test('GoogleFont-bold.woff'))
console.log(regex.test('SomeOtherFont-light.woff2'))
console.log(regex.test('MyFont-something.css'))

Escape the period before the file extension in your RegEx and you should be good. – Krisztián Balla Aug 31 '18 at 06:37
