Regex capture string between delimiter including the last delimited group

Question

I have a string in the following format:

ignorethis_capture1_capture2_[more captured groups]

The string to be matched is delimited by '_' . I need to get all the matched strings separately except the 'ignorethis' string which is always at the beginning. I can delimit by '_' but then have a problem with getting the last captured group.

eg string: start_data1_data2_data3

should give: data1 , data2 , data3 as matched groups

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: I know this can be done using string split. I was just befuddled as to how to do such an operation using regex so thought to ask here

Answer 1

You don't need regex:

 var s = 'start_data1_data2_data3'; alert(s.split('_').slice(1));

Answer 2

Please try:

 var s = 'start_data1_data2_data3'; re = /_([^_]+)/g; result = []; while (m = re.exec(s)) { result.push(m[1]); } document.write(result.join(','));
