Regular expression (or RegEx)

A regular expression is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern. It is mainly used for string pattern matching.

Regular expressions are extremely useful in extracting information from text such as: code, log files, spreadsheets, documents, etc.

Task

You have a test string . Your task is to match the string hackerrank. This is case sensitive.

Note

This is a regex only challenge. You are not required to write code.
You only have to fill in the regex pattern in the blank (_________).
