How can I select text inside p tag with specific criteria using jQuery?

The text look like this.

var fi,se,en;
var description = 
"<p>
FI: Sähköpyörä, Tunturi<br />
SE: Elektrisk Cykel, Tunturi<br />
EN: Electric Bike, Tunturi<br />
<\/p>";

I want to select everything inside p tag after FI: until tag br as same as SE: and EN:

The result will be like this.

var fi = "Sähköpyörä, Tunturi";

var se = "Elektrisk Cykel, Tunturi";

var en = "Electric Bike, Tunturi";

Note: The text are dynamic change.

Thanks !!!

Solution

  • How about using some regular expressions

    var fi,se,en;
var description = 
"<p>\
FI: Sähköpyörä, Tunturi<br />\
SE: Elektrisk Cykel, Tunturi<br />\
EN: Electric Bike, Tunturi<br />\
</p>";
var match = description.match(/FI:\s*(.+)<br \/>\s*SE:\s*(.+)<br \/>\s*EN:\s*(.+)<br \/>/);
fi = match[1];
se = match[2];
en = match[3];
