TypeScript error on RegEx input parameter

I just started converting JavaScript to TypeScript, and this line:

 var re = new RegExp(/<script>(<h2.*?)<\/script>/g);

is showing error :

Augument of type 'RegEx' is not assignable to parameters of type 'string'

How to fix it?

The syntax you have is duplicative -- it creates a RegExp using the built-in syntax, then creates another RegExp via the constructor function. You can write either of these instead (they are equivalent):

var re = /<script>(<h2.*?)<\/script>/g;

or

var re = new RegExp('<script>(<h2.*?)<\/script>', 'g');
