Can someone please help me with some regex - Given strings like

"this definitely will not match"
"this min-h-32 should not match"
"this h-12 should match"
"this h-12-no not match"

"this definitely will not match"
"this min-h-32 should not match"
"this h-12 should match"
"this h-12-no not match"

I want to match if the string contains h-[numbers] The h-[numbers] can appear anywhere in the string (end,start,middle) but cannot be "touching" any other characters other that whitespace.

@Hailwood something like?

(?<=\s|^)h-(\d*)(?!\S)

(?<=\s|^)h-(\d*)(?!\S)

@Rhys it looks good and works well in chrome etc.. any idea why in safari I'm getting

"Invalid regular expression: invalid group specifier name"?

'hello h-12 lol'.match(/(?<=\s|^)h-(\d*)(?!\S)/gm)

'hello h-12 lol'.match(/(?<=\s|^)h-(\d*)(?!\S)/gm)

Oh...https://caniuse.com/js-regexp-lookbehind Hmm, any thoughts on doing it without a lookbehind?

@Hailwood here you go, I actually can explain this one haha (^|\ )h-(\d*)($|\ )

(^|\ ) - matches start of string or whitespace h- matches h- (\d*)- matches digits as a capture group ($\ )-matches end of string or whitespace
