I need a certain type of regular expression where I need list of special type of strings from a string. Example input:
str = 'this is extra data which i do not need /type/123456/weqweqweqweqw/ these are more extra data which i dont need /'
Result needed:
/type/123456/weqweqweqweqw/
Here the /type/
string will be constant and the remaining will be dynamic i.e. 123456/weqweqweqweqw
and the last string will be /
.
I tried:
var myRe = /\/type\/(.*)\//g
But this matches everything from /type/
to the end of the string.
Instead of repeating .
, which will match anything, repeat anything but a space via \S+
, so that only the URL part of the string will be matched:
const str = 'this is extra data which i do not need /type/123456/weqweqweqweqw/ these are more extra data which i dont need /';
console.log(str.match(/\/type\S+/));
