regular expression, extract substring from path

Question

Doing this in javascript.

I have path's like this: /p/BC3eKD-rX-w/

I have a pattern like this: /\\/p\\/([\\w-]+)\\//g

I am trying to extract "BC3eKD-rX-w" but it keeps matching the entire string.

I suck at regular expressions, have spent 2 hours reading and watching videos and am very frustrated.

Help?

Answer 1

var exp = /\/p\/([\w-]+)\//g;
console.log(exp.exec("/p/BC3eKD-rX-w/")[1]);

Works fine with me.
