I’m looking for a way to possibly search for values that are inside of an array – that are themselves within an object – by using regex. This is because the values within the arrays will be strings.

I have found some information about nested arrays but I don’t see this being a good solution here as you would need to know the indices. My plan is to let the regex function search for strings within the array

const objectOfArrays = {
    array1: ["string", "string", "string",],
    array2: ["string", "string", "string",],
    array3: ["string", "string", "string",],
    array4: ["string", "string", "string",],
};

Up until now I’ve been using this regex pattern with individual variables to match any instance:

const regex = new RegExp(`\b${array1.join("|")}\b`, "i");

The idea is to have one regex pattern to match anything, for example: ${objectOfArrays.array1} but it’s proving difficult to get a one-fits-all solution.

Any input is appreciated. I realise that some things here are basic but to tie them all together takes some know-how.
