I have a string from which I need to extract specific texts
let str = 'id = "Test This is" id ="second" abc 123 id ="third-123"';
let res = str.match(/[^id ="\[](.*)[^\]]/g);
console.log(res);
I want the texts in ids only ['Test This is','second','third-123']
But I am getting [ 'Test This is" id ="second" abc 123 id ="third-123"' ]
The whole text after first id which I don't want.I need help with the pattern.
Your pattern uses a negated character class where you exclude matching the listed individual characters, and also exclude matching [ and ] which are not present in the example data.
That way you match the first char T in the string with [^id ="\[] and match the last char ; in the string with [^\]] and the .* captures all in between.
I would suggest using a negated character class to exclude matching the " instead:;
\bid\s*=\s*"([^"]*)"
let str = 'id = "Test This is" id ="second" abc 123 id ="third-123"';
let res = str.matchAll(/\bid\s*=\s*"([^"]*)"/g);
console.log(Array.from(str.matchAll(/\bid\s*=\s*"([^"]*)"/g), m => m[1]));You can simplify this down to a non-greedy regular expression indepedent of where the quotes fall in the string:
let str = 'id = "Test This is" id ="second" abc 123 id ="third-123"';
let res = str.match(/".*?"/g);
console.log(res);
