Question

How do I write a regex that says, if word/string starts with the letters ‘BT’?

Here’s the code I working with:

    if(val.match(/^\S{5,}$/)){

        if(val.match(/^BT/)){

            alert('Unfortunately you cannot buy or sell registrations in the Auctions if you live in Northern Ireland');
            return false;

        }else{

            postcode.val(val.slice(0, -3)+' '+val.slice(-3));
            $('#Postcodelookup').fadeIn(300);

        }
    }else{...

Any help would be appreciated as I’m quite new to using regex, Thanks

You want /\bBT/.
