I would like to extract a string between a (' and ',
here is what it looks like:
and I want to extract
I should see the menu page
I create a custom order with create your own salad
I dismiss the dietary preferences menu tooltip
These are gherkin steps in my automation framework and I've tried using
\'[^']+'
but this also returns any imports that I have in my page classes such as '../src/etc' which I don't want.
You could use a capturing group and a generator like this:
const input = "('I enter in {string}', ('blbl',"
const regex = /\('([^']*)',/ig;
function* getResults(input, regex) {
let match;
while (match = regex.exec(input)) {
yield match[1];
}
}
const results = [ ...getResults(input, regex) ];
console.log(results);Shorter solution:
const input = "('I enter in {string}', ('blbl',"
const regex = /\('([^']*)',/ig;
const results = [ ...input.matchAll(regex) ].map(([, x]) => x);
console.log(results);
/\('(.*?)',/?
