Can anyone help me with my code, I want to the value to be matched in the variable myString but it is not working:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<p id="demo">Display the result here.</p> 

<input type = "text" value = "ood" id = "txt1"/>

<script>

var myString = "How much wood could a wood chuck chuck";

var myWord = document.getElementById("txt1").value;   // ood

var myPattern = /.myWord/;        // I want this to be /.ood/

var myResult = myString.match(myPattern);

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = myResult;

</script>

</body>

</html>

Any help would be appreciated.

You can use regular expression, for matching of string using the object called RegExp:

var myPattern = new RegExp("\\b\\w*"+myWord+"\\w*\\b",'m'); 

This will help you to ensure that it matches the characters which are end with "od".

I hope this will help.
