reg.regexp is a regular expression provided by telegramBot.onText(regexp, callback). So it looks like you used onText somewhere without a regexp object.

There's also a debug statement right before reg.regexp.exec gets called, so starting node with the DEBUG=node-telegram-bot-api environment variable will give you some more information about whats going on.
