CSS + Regex = Efficiency

CSS offers us three simple yet powerful regex-like tools:

Caret (^): Finds elements where the class starts with specific characters.

  • Example: div[class^="card"] targets all elements whose class names start with card, no matter what follows.

Asterisk (*): Searches for specific characters anywhere in the class name.

  • Example: div[class*="new"] targets elements where new appears, regardless of position.

Dollar Sign ($): Matches classes where specific characters appear at the end.

  • Example: div[class$="prioritize"] targets classes ending with prioritize.
