extract particular piece of text through javascript regular expressions

Question

I would like to extract particular piece of text MH4 from the string S12345-MH4-PX through javascript regular expressions.

The desired output should be MH4.

Why regular expressions? `string.split('-')[1]` gives desired output for all strings in that format. — Jared Smith, Jan 15 '16 at 12:13

You can use something like:

var input = 'S12345-MH4-PX';    
var reg = /\-(.*)-/g;

var matches = reg.exec(input);

console.log(matches[1]);
