var str = "The quick brown fox jumped over the box like an ox with a sox in its mouth";

str.match(/\w(ox)/g); // ["fox", "box", "sox"]

// if you don't use the 'g' flag then it acts the same as the 'exec' method.

str.match(/\w(ox)/); // ["fox", "ox"]
/\w(ox)/.exec(str);  // ["fox", "ox"]

Each YouTube video has 4 generated images. They are predictably formatted as follows:

http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/0.jpg
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/1.jpg
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/2.jpg
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/3.jpg

The first one in the list is a full size image and others are thumbnail images. The default thumbnail image (ie. one of 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg) is:

http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/default.jpg
