Testing regex in JavaScript with the exec() method

exec.js

console.log(/p.*g/.test('programming')); // true
console.log(/p.*g/.test('pickles')); // false

var re = /quick\s(brown).+?(jumps)/ig;
var result = re.exec(
  'The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog'
);

console.log(result);
// ["Quick Brown Fox Jumps", "Brown", "Jumps"]

console.log(result.index); // 4

console.log(result.input);
// "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog"

Would be handy if this is a tutorial to show me the /p.*g/ which I think means contains p or g ?
But an interesting way to use gist...well done on that creativity. I hate regex can you tell and probably you the reader also does.
