Regex for hostname

I have the following code:

if (currHost.match(/(alpha|beta|test|dev|load|local)\./)) {

Open in new window

but I need to add additional conditions such as "file:" , ".od*." (* is wildcard), "dev-wa." and ".hbox." not sure how to approach this?

Your current regex will match those various words if they occur *anywhere* in the string contained within currHost. Your inclusion of "file:" seems to imply that you want to include a scheme as well. Is this correct? If you can clarify what "things" you want to be matched, then we can appropriately place them in your regex.

Capturing the URL (without query string) via

 var currHost = location.protocol+"//"+location.hostname+location.pathname;

Open in new window

and want to filter out non-production urls coming for our analytics code. So we could have something with
file://
www.sqc.mydomain.com
www.sqa.mydomain.com
www.odd.mydomain.com
www.odp.mydomain.com
www.hbox.mydomain.com
dev-wa.mydomain.com

etc

Below is the solution:

if ((currHost[i].match(/(alpha|beta|test|dev|load|local|phi|\.stage|\.stg|\.it.{1}|\.od.{1}|dev-wa|\.sq.{1}|\.hbox)\./))||(document.location.protocol === 'file:')) {
