Challenge: Regular Expressions

Find One or More Criminals in a Hunt

• Let's Write a greedy regex that finds one or more criminals within a group of other people. A criminal is represented by the capital letter C.

• Here's an example to review how to do this:

• The regex /z+/ matches the letter z when it appears one or more times in a row. It would find matches in all of the following strings:
  

"z"
"zzzzzz"
"ABCzzzz"
"zzzzABC"
"abczzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzabc"

• But it does not find matches in the following strings since there are no letter z characters:

""
"ABC"
"abcabc"

• Answer:

let reCriminals = /C+/;

• Now your regex should match three criminals (CCC) in the string P1P5P4CCCcP2P6P3.
• Now your regex should match five criminals (CCCCC) in the string P6P2P7P4P5CCCCCP3P1.
