How to find consecutive repeated characters in a string in javascript?

Hi Friends 👋,

Welcome To Infinitbility! ❤️

Today, I’m going to show you how I find consecutive repeated characters in a string, here I will use some regex expression and javascript test() method to validate consecutive repeated characters in an array.

The test() method executes a search for a match between a regular expression and a specified string. Returns true or false.

Well, let’s start today’s topic How to find consecutive repeated characters in a string in javascript?

Okay, let’s plan what we are going to do in code.

Create samples of consecutive repeated characters strings variable.
To validate consecutive repeated characters, regex expression with the test method
show which characters consecutively repeated

// Create samples consecutive repeated characters strings variable
let str1 = "infinitbility";
let str2 = "aaakash";

// To validate consecutive repeated characters, regex expression with test method
// show which characters consecutive repeated
if (/(.)\1\1/.test(str1)) {
  console.log("str1 have consecutive characters")
} else {
  console.log("str1 haven't consecutive characters")
}

if (/(.)\1\1/.test(str2)) {
  console.log("str2 have consecutive characters")
} else {
  console.log("str2 haven't consecutive characters")
}

In the above example, I’m using the regex expression to find strings that have consecutive characters.

Here, as per expectation, it should show str2 have consecutive characters, let’s check the output.
