I have a string with may have one of the 2 below structure
(\w+){1}([!][a-zA-Z0-9>,]+)*([#]\d+)?
(\w+){1}([#]\d+)?([!][a-zA-Z0-9>,]+)*
some examples would be
"Abc1!deF2>Ghi3,4jlmNO!pQr5st#1400"
"Abc1#1400!deF2>Ghi3,4jlmNO!pQr5st"
The goal is to match as below
["Abc1", "!deF2>Ghi3,4jlmNO", "!pQr5st", "#1400"]
["Abc1", "#1400", "!deF2>Ghi3,4jlmNO", "!pQr5st"]
I can manage to get the result with 3 regex, but not with 1
const a = str.match(/\w+/)
const b = str.match(/([!][a-zA-Z0-9>,]+)/g)
const c = str.match(/[#]\d+/)
How can I get the expected result with a single regex ?
Maybe use | to separate possible matches:
const regExp = /\w+|![a-zA-Z0-9>,]+|#\d+/g;
console.log("Abc1!deF2>Ghi3,4jlmNO!pQr5st#1400".match(regExp));
console.log("Abc1#1400!deF2>Ghi3,4jlmNO!pQr5st".match(regExp));Also note that (\w+){1} is equivalent to \w+, and [!] and [#] are the same as ! and # respectively.
