update regex so it doesn't match substrings...such as 'linen' or 'phosphatidylcholine'

Does this work if you type "IN" or "INTO"? Your RegEx isn't case insensitive (eg, /^into$/i).

[shawncplus]

If we're only matching the specific words "in" and "into" IMO it would be better to toLowerCase() then do a direct === compare rather than using a regex.

[markscho]

Or if you don't mind a few extra clock-cycles, you could do:
['in', 'into'].includes(arg.toLowerCase())
or for a tighter RegEx:
/^in$|^into$/i.test(arg)

I would vote for a === comparison or includes()

NB: even tighter regex /^in(|to)$/i

[azigler]

I accomplished this by modifying the regex like so:

const parts = args.split(' ').filter(arg => !arg.match(/\bin(|to)\b/i))

This matches "in" and "into", is case insensitive, and only matches a whole word.

I understand there's a lot of disdain for regex and it hinders code readability, but I found this approach to be simpler than doing a === comparison.
