Checking current document name

[smithcgl9043167]

Hello guys! How do I check if there is a specific name at the beginning or end of the current document name?
It would be something like this:
"test myDocumente.jpg" or "myDocumente test.jpg"

Hi, what do you mean it should save with that name?

I missed that both at the beginnang and at the end should qualify. 

I expect one RegExp would be possible but two seems easier. 

var theRegExp = new RegExp(/^test/i);
var theRegExp2 = new RegExp(/test$/i);
var docName = activeDocument.name;
try {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
catch (e) {basename = docName};
if (basename.match(theRegExp) != null || basename.match(theRegExp2) != null) {alert ("yes")}
else {alert ("no")};

Perfect, that's exactly what I needed. Thanks @c.pfaffenbichler

Here it is in a single regular expression, I included the leading/trailing white space to tighten up the search:

var theRegExp = new RegExp(/ test$|^test /i);
var docName = activeDocument.name;
try {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
catch (e) {basename = docName}
if (basename.match(theRegExp) !== null) {alert ("yes")}
else {alert ("no")}

Some other common minor variations include:

var docName = activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
if (/ test$|^test /i.test(docName) === true) {
        alert("True");
    } else {
        alert("False");
}

var docName = activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
if (docName.match(/ test$|^test /i)) {
        alert("True");
    } else {
        alert("False");
}

var docName = activeDocument.name.split('.')[0];
if (docName.match(/ test$|^test /i)) {
        alert("True");
    } else {
        alert("False");
}
