could you please explain, why my regex /\bTIM\w+\gi/ is matching the word time inside that string: {"Time":"2018-12-04T12:02:00"}, however when I search for full word time /\bTIME\w+\gi/ I get no results? How can I amend my regular expression to have a match.

Thanks,

`tim\w` permits "time". `time\w` requires a fifth word character. – CertainPerformance Dec 04 '18 at 11:58
Use `*` to match 0 or more repetitions of the quantified pattern. – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 04 '18 at 11:59
thanks guys ! changing + to * did the trick! – Julia Pavlova Dec 04 '18 at 12:02
