I am very new to regex, and I want to extract some data from API responses.
I have a response from my API call:
{

I want to extract SSESS8b04132f4690dc8ceb7837d5134a5519 & ZbgVsmpp6DBRWwNCRMm5DTpfEoKffsNM7l8ILoCWkug which are variables, and every single run that are different values.
I manage to construct a group that is capturing the whole key/value, but still when I try to console it, doesn't work.
https://regex101.com/r/2dKW4s/1
try1 as:
var matches1 = loginModern.headers.match(new RegExp("(SSESS.*)=(.+?);\s*path"));
console.log(matches1[2]);
result output: TypeError: loginModern.headers.match is not a function
try2:
const regex1 = new RegExp('(SSESS.*)=(.+?);\s*path');
var matches1 = regex1.exec(loginModern.headers)
console.log(matches1);
null
How to fetch SSESS8b04132f4690dc8ceb7837d5134a5519 & ZbgVsmpp6DBRWwNCRMm5DTpfEoKffsNM7l8ILoCWkug
from the above response, having in mind they are changing variables?
Any help is appreciated
Sandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/jwdgmp
const setCookieArray = loginModern.headers["set-cookie"];
const stringContainingSSESS = setCookieArray.find((item) =>
item.includes("SSESS")
);
const matches = stringContainingSSESS.match(/(SSESS[a-zA-Z0-9]*)=(.+?);/);
console.log("key", matches[1]);
console.log("value", matches[2]);
I ran the regexp you provided against the loginModern.headers and it had some issues matching up. This regexp is more accurate
