Given:
A 1234 AAAAAA AAAAAA 1234 7th XXXXX Rd XXXXXX
I want to match:
1234 7th XXXXX Rd
Using nothing more than Rd
and \\d+
so i tried: \\d+.*?Rd
but it matches starting from the first 1234 up to Rd instead of the second 1234, i thought .*?
would match the shortest possible match, what am i doing wrong?
Use the following pattern:
^.*(1234 7th.*?Rd).*$
Explanation:
^.* from the start of the greedily consume everything until
(1234 7th capture from the last occurrence of 1234 7th
.*?Rd) then non greedily consume everything until the first Rd
.*$ consume, but don't capture, the remainder of the string
Here is a code snippet:
var input = "A 1234 AAAAAA AAAAAA 1234 7th XXXXX Rd XXXXXX"; var regex = /^.*(1234 7th.*?Rd).*$/g; var match = regex.exec(input); console.log(match[1]); // 1234 7th XXXXX Rd
You are using more than Rd
and \\d+
when you add .*
which will match anything. If you can assume NUMBER-SPACE-SOMETHING-Rd
as the format - then you could add \\s
to the mix and use
/(\d+\s+\d+.*?Rd)/
console.log('A 1234 AAAAAA AAAAAA 1234 7th XXXXX Rd XXXXXX'.match(/(\\d+\\s+\\d+.*?Rd)/g))
