正则表达式在星号之间匹配字符串

Question

I have a string like this:

var s = "*string1* *string2* *string3*";

I'm trying to create a regex which returns an array of the three strings between *

How can I do that? I tried using this but I'm not sure if it is correctly escaped

s.match("\*(.*)\*")

Thanks

You need to use lazy quantifier ? here and also escape \\

Like this \\*(.*?)\\* Regex101 Demo

Without using lazy quantifier you can do something like this.

\\*[^*]+\\* This will match a * everything until a * * . Regex101 Demo

Use \\\\ instead of \\ in actual code.
