exact()

The exact method works almost the same as the normal method, except it wraps your statement into brackets (), so it will match exactly what's in them. Often the normal method is better.

exact will escape characters for you automatically.

Usage

exact(PARAMETERS)

Example

const word = "Joee";
const code = "exact(Joe)"
// Match: "Joe"

const word = "21-01-01 is same as 21/01/01";
const code = "exact([number]{2}-[number]{2}-[number]{2})"
// Match: "21-01-01"

Regex
