JavaScript regex to extract text and number

Question

I am still new on regex (I should learn), I just need JS regex to extract string and number from a text like this: [number][string] .

( /^(\d+).(\s+)/?)

Any help please?

Answer 1

I think you are looking for ' /\d+[az]+/gi ':

var x = "123123K, 333D".match(/\d+[a-z]+/gi); 
console.log(x)​;    //["123123K", "333D"]

UPDATE : x is array. You can iterate over it and extract number and text:

xitem.match(/\d+/)[0]      //number
xitem.match(/[a-z]+/i)[0]  //text

PS: About \s :

Matches a whitespace character, which in ASCII are tab, line feed, form feed, carriage return, and space; in Unicode, also matches no-break spaces, next line, and the variable-width spaces (amongst others).

Answer 2

If the square brackets are in the line as well then do the following:

/^\[(\d+)\]\[(\s+)\]$/

If they are not

/^(\d+)(\s+)$/
