I’m trying to get a set of strings from a paragraph that match the format of 4chan’s quotes: >>1111111
where it starts with >>
followed by 7 digits.
>>1111000 >>1111001 Yes, I agree with those sentiments.
Both >>1111000
and >>1111001
would be extracted from the text above which I would then split into the digits after.

You can use the following which will match lines starting with 2 >
characters followed by 7 digits:
const regex =/^[>]{2}[d]{7}$/gm; const text = `>>1234567 >>6548789 foo barr`; const matches = text.match(regex); console.log(matches);
