# prefer-regexp-exec

[Added in v0.3.0](https://github.com/web-infra-dev/rslint/releases/tag/v0.3.0)
## Configuration

| Preset                            | Configured Value |
| --------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| ✅ ts.configs.stylisticTypeChecked | `"error"`        |


```ts title=rslint.config.ts
import { defineConfig, ts } from '@rslint/core';

export default defineConfig([
  ts.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      '@typescript-eslint/prefer-regexp-exec': 'error',
    },
  },
]);
```

## Rule Details

Prefer `RegExp#exec` over `String#match` when a non-global regex match is used.

Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:

```ts
const value = 'foo';
value.match(/foo/);
value.match('foo');
```

Examples of **correct** code:

```ts
const value = 'foo';
/foo/.exec(value);
value.match(/foo/g);
```
