Need help figuring out how to write this Regex properly

I am trying to make a regex test that returns true for the following conditions:

• Can only have letters A-F (case insensitive)
• First character must be ‘#’
• Can have numbers 0-9
• Does not have punctuation

The order does not matter except that string[0] should be ‘#’.

So far I have: /^#[A-F0-9^!G-Z]/i but for some reason, it returns strings that have letters after F (like G or J) as true.

Answer

You can use

^#[0-9A-Fa-f]*$

Details:

• ^ – start of string
• # – a hash symbol
• [0-9A-Fa-f]* – zero or more hex chars (note it can be written as [[:xdigit:]]* in some regex flavors, but not in ECMAScript flavor used in JavaScript)
• $ – end of string.
