I am trying to use regular expressions in test cases and I am unable to get anything other than literal matching to work. Specifically, I am trying to check the output of:
print ("Hello World")
and I have set the regular expression to each of the following without success:
/Hello World/i
/Hello World/
new RegExp(/Hello World/i);
Is this functionality working and I am missing some documentation?

I just ran into this problem while setting up my AP CS A class and it made me feel dumb. 🙁
One way to make regex work properly is to explicitly mark the start
^and end$of the string your pattern is to match.No forward slashes
/.The example is me figuring out how to test Exercise 2 from Chapter 1 of Think Java 2e by Allen Downey.
