Regex with OR condition

Question

I have to create a regex to match exact string - /op , /kl , /xz

Individual Regex works:

How to merge this check into 1 Regex ?

I tried new RegExp('(/op) | (/xz)').test("/op") but it gives false

@mousetail `new RegExp('/op|/kl|/xz').test("/ops")` is also true — Samuel, Aug 25 '23 at 07:23
@Samuel but this means you didn't provide the correct examples, because none of the expressions in your question will reject partial matches. If you don't want to match anything after the expression, use the `^` and `$` anchors i.e. `^\/(op|kl|xy)$`. — vgru, Aug 25 '23 at 07:36

According to regex101.com, this works:

/\/(op|kl|xy)/g

With the long version being:

new RegExp('\\/(op|kl|xy)', 'g')

new RegExp('^\\/(op|kl|xz)$') did the trick to match exact pattern.
