Using parentheses, you can create groups of characters: (...)

This example matches exactly 3 digits followed by one or more alphanumeric characters:

/^(\d{3})(\w+)$/

/^(\d{3})(\w+)$/.test('123')          //❌
/^(\d{3})(\w+)$/.test('123s')         //✅
/^(\d{3})(\w+)$/.test('123something') //✅
/^(\d{3})(\w+)$/.test('1234')         //✅

Repetition characters put after a group closing parentheses refer to the whole group:

/^(\d{2})+$/

/^(\d{2})+$/.test('12')   //✅
/^(\d{2})+$/.test('123')  //❌
/^(\d{2})+$/.test('1234') //✅
