var str_eng =  "{{test}} {{test1}}";
var str_non_eng = "{{בדיקה}} {{עעע}}";

str_eng.match(/{{\s*[\w\.]+\s*}}/g).map(function(x) { return x.match(/[\w\.]+/)[0];  }) //array[ "test","test1" ] //ok

str_non_eng.match(/{{\s*[\w\.]+\s*}}/g).map(function(x) { return x.match(/[\w\.]+/)[0];  }) // error not working

  • Replace `[\w\.]+` with `.*?` in the first bit, and just remove the brackets via `substr()` in your `map`. – Niet the Dark Absol Jul 09 '17 at 14:08

\w does not match Hebrew characters - to do that you need to match on the Unicode range for Hebrew with [\u0590-\u05FF] - see here.

You can blend \w and [\u0590-\u05FF] to match both ASCII and Hebrew:

// var str_non_eng = "{{בדיקה}} {{עעע}}";
var str_non_eng = "{{test}} {{בדיקה}} hi this is my test {{test2}}";

var r1 = /{{\s*[\w\u0590-\u05FF\.]+\s*}}/g
var r2 = /[\w\u0590-\u05FF\.]+/;

var foo = str_non_eng.match(r1).map(function(x) {
  return x.match(r2)[0];
});
console.log(foo);

you can't use \w for Hebrew chars. use the following : 

/{{\s*[\w\u0590-\u05FF\.]+\s*}}/g
