I have the following regex that works fine in chrome but it does not work in FireFox generating syntax error Invalid Regex Group
:
bld = txt.split(/(?<=:)/iu,1);
I have tried to escape :
using /(?<=\\:)/iu
but it gives the same error. I could not able to figure out the cause of this problem.
As you can see here , as of now, lookbehinds are not supported in every browser/JavaScript environment. Thus, you can't actually rely on that feature if you want to support all browsers including legacy versions.
Since you just want to match 0+ chars other than :
and the first :
in the string, you may use
s.match(/^[^:]*:/)
See the regex demo .
JS:
console.log( 'Error 5: the lorem lipsum: in...'.match(/^[^:]*:/)[0] );
