需要正则表达式帮助将 BBCode 标签转换为 HTML 标签

Question

i have a Javascript regex.

/\[([^:]*)\]/gi

Basically what it needs to do is to get content of [ ] and place it inside of HTML tag src. Like bbForums do.

Problem is when i have input as [somescr] i get proper results but when i have more than one [somesrc] [someothersrc] in row, Regex matches everything between first and last brackets ( ie. somesrc] [someothersrc )

Can you help me with it?

thanks

Answer 1

What you want is a lazy quantifier. So replace * with *? , and it should work magically.

Answer 2

Try using /\[([^:]*?)\]/gi

For more info, see this SO question .

Answer 3

Use this pattern: \[([^:]*?)\] . Put ? after * to make it lazy.

Answer 4

This should do what you need:

myString.replace(/\[(.*?)\](.*?)\[/\1\]/gi, "<$1>$2</$1>")
