# ansi-regex [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/ansi-regex)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> Regular expression for matching [ANSI escape codes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
$ npm install --save ansi-regex
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var ansiRegex = require('ansi-regex');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ansiRegex().test('\u001b[4mcake\u001b[0m');
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ansiRegex().test('cake');
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
'\u001b[4mcake\u001b[0m'.match(ansiRegex());
 | 
						|
//=> ['\u001b[4m', '\u001b[0m']
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*It's a function so you can create multiple instances. Regexes with the global flag will have the `.lastIndex` property changed for each call to methods on the instance. Therefore reusing the instance with multiple calls will not work as expected for `.test()`.*
