# unc-path-regex [![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/unc-path-regex.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/unc-path-regex)

> Regular expression for testing if a file path is a windows UNC file path. Can also be used as a component of another regexp via the `.source` property.

Visit the MSDN reference for [Common Data Types 2.2.57 UNC](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg465305.aspx) for more information about UNC paths.

## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)

```sh
$ npm i unc-path-regex --save
```

## Usage

```js
// unc-path-regex returns a function
var regex = require('unc-path-regex')();
```

**true**

Returns true for windows UNC paths:

```js
regex.test('\\/foo/bar');
regex.test('\\\\foo/bar');
regex.test('\\\\foo\\admin$');
regex.test('\\\\foo\\admin$\\system32');
regex.test('\\\\foo\\temp');
regex.test('\\\\/foo/bar');
regex.test('\\\\\\/foo/bar');
```

**false**

Returns false for non-UNC paths:

regex.test('/foo/bar');
regex.test('/');
regex.test('/foo');
regex.test('/foo/');
