Javascript-从括号内获取字符串的内容

Question

I have a string which I get back from an ajax request. The string is in this format:

  POINT(417135.05230943 4187636.37572952)

What I want is to get the content in the parenthesis to use it to make a marker (latitude, longitude).

Right now I do this:

response = response.replace("POINT(",'');
response = response.replace(")",'');
response = response.replace(" ",',');
//alert(response);
var latlotArr = response.split(',');

Which I don't like at all. Is there another way to do it? I suppose is not possible to convert this to JSon. What alternatives do I have?

Answer 1

Bunch of ways to do it.

One way is a basic regular expression to match the two groups of numbers separated by a space.

var str = "POINT(417135.05230943 4187636.37572952)";
var points = str.match(/(\d+.\d+)\s(\d+.\d+)/);
console.log(points[1], points[2]);

You can get more specific if you want, up to you.
