hi! i want to match a word to a regex while using a variable. i tried with<|$s..|> (s is my variable) but it doesn't recognize s.. and so i used Regex.glob("$s") but i'm not quite sure what other regex symbols to use.. what symbols are valid in the string? *? .? thanks!!

If you want to create regex from string then Regex(s)

but i want my string to begin with whatever is in s (can i use ^?) and then any string can trail. such as: "^$s*" how do i do that?

Regex("^" + s + ".*") or Regex("^${s}.*")

are you sure the ^ symbol means starts with? i tried it but it didn't find a match.

The www.regular-expressions.info website seems to think so.
