在两组字符之间获取单词

Question

I'm trying to write a regular expression that takes any word between these two sets of characters:
3D and &sa

examples :

3D Evb31p5vFs4_ &sa : the output : Evb31p5vFs4_

3D _Ve8_LBztG50_ &sa : the output : _Ve8_LBztG50_

I have used the expression: /\\w[3D][A-Za-z0-9_-].*sa/g
So the next step is to skip the "3D" and "&sa"

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can use match() with regex /3D(.*)&sa/

 var a='3DEvb31p5vFs4_&sa'; var b='3D_Ve8_LBztG50_&sa' ; document.write(a.match(/3D(.*)&sa/)[1] +'<br>'); document.write(b.match(/3D(.*)&sa/)[1]); 

Explanation:

3D(.*)&sa

Answer 2

Try this:

3D(?s)(.*)&sa

Explaination:

3D matches the characters 3D literally (case sensitive)
(?s) Match the remainder of the pattern with the following options:
s modifier: single line. Dot matches newline characters
1st Capturing group (.*)
.* matches any character
Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
&sa matches the characters &sa literally (case sensitive)
g modifier: global. All matches (don't return on first match)
