python process JS and loop though to get data

Question

I have some intricate JS data I scrape and I need some help looping through and extracting data here is the JS:

score = 0;
    var AnswerRight = false;

        AnswerRight = false;

                if ($('input[name=Guess1]').val() != "") {
                    if (trim($('input[name=Guess1]').val().toUpperCase()) == '7Y-6') {

                        AnswerRight = true;
                    }
                }

                if ($('input[name=Guess1]').val() != "") {
                    if (trim($('input[name=Guess1]').val().toUpperCase()) == '-6+7Y') {

                        AnswerRight = true;
                    }
                }

                if ($('input[name=Guess1]').val() != "") {
                    if (trim($('input[name=Guess1]').val().toUpperCase()) == 'F(Y)=7Y-6') {

                        AnswerRight = true;
                    }
                }

        if ($('input[name=Guess1]').val() != "") {
            if (AnswerRight) {
                $('#tick1').show();
                $('#cross1').hide();
                score = score + 1;
            } else {
                $('#tick1').hide();
                $('#cross1').show();
            }
        }

        AnswerRight = false;

                if ($('input[name=Guess12]').val() != "") {
                    if (trim($('input[name=Guess12]').val().toUpperCase()) == '-1') {

                        AnswerRight = true;
                    }
                }

        if ($('input[name=Guess12]').val() != "") {
            if (AnswerRight) {
                $('#tick12').show();
                $('#cross12').hide();
                score = score + 1;
            } else {
                $('#tick12').hide();
                $('#cross12').show();
            }
        }

    if (score < 12) {
        $('#Checkbutton').text('Check again').css({'width':'150px'});
    }
    if (score >= 9) {
        $('#Trophybutton').show();
        $('#Trophybutton').val('Claim Your Trophy for ' + score + ' out of 12');
    }
    if(score==12) {
        $('#Checkbutton').hide();
    }
}

I will give an example of what I want to scrape so you can see each question is named Guess then a number so you can see:

if ($('input[name=Guess1]').val() != "") {
                    if (trim($('input[name=Guess1]').val().toUpperCase()) == '7Y-6') {

                        AnswerRight = true;
                    }
                }

so I would like to get the value 7y-6

but you can see in the code above there's more answers for guess 1 like -6+7y since it can be solved in multiple ways however I just want the first answer to every question:

so the next question answer I would like to get is within:

if ($('input[name=Guess2]').val() != "") {
                    if (trim($('input[name=Guess2]').val().toUpperCase()) == '-27') {

                        AnswerRight = true;
                    }
                }

and the value I would like to extract is -27

I would like to do this for every question there so loop through for each one and then display then just print out the answers.

How would I do this? Im thinking regex - I have tried but it doesn't work for me hahaha.

You could use this re: Guess\d{1,3}.*?==\s\'(.*?)\'

Code

import re

answers = re.findall(r"Guess\d{1,3}.*?==\s\'(.*?)\'", js_text_code)

Assuming you have the code in js_text_code.

answers will be a list like this:

['7Y-6', '-6+7Y', ... ]

Pattern explanation

Guess: Literal text 'Guess'
\d{1,3}: One, two, or three digits (assuming this number could be at least of three digits)
.*?==: Any characters until the first ==
\s: A space.
\': The open simple quote.
(.*?)\': Any characters until the first closed simple quote. And making a group of this characters (this is the part you want).
