Splitting a string using a regexp that matches more than one character
I am trying to achieve the following for both @ or # .
function split(val) {
return val.split(/@/);
}
function extractLast(term) {
return split(term).pop();
}
Try
ReplyDeleteval.split(/@|#/g);
The | is the regex equivalent of or. The g flag makes the expression match globally (ie all instances)
See this fiddle
As Pointy notes the g flag isn't necessary here. It is however necessary if wanting to find all matches within a string in JS regular expressions.
you could do
ReplyDeletefunction split(val) {
return val.split(/[@#]/g);
}
