How to get string between 2 strings and add to arrray

Question

I have a string:

 let str = ' some text url:"http:/myURL01", some text url:"http:/myURL02", ..., url:"http:/myURL03", some text';

Now, i want to get all URL (sub string between url:" and ", ) and add to an array

Expect result: arrURL ["myURL01", "myURL02", "myURL03"]

Thank you!

Try below

var str = ' some text url:"http:/myURL01", some text url:"http:/myURL02", ..., url:"http:/myURL03", some text';
    var arr = [];
 var x=0;
 do
 {
  x = str.indexOf("url:", x);
  if(x!=-1)
  { 
   arr.push(str.substring(x+5,  str.indexOf(",",x)-1))
   x = x+1;
  }
 }
 while(x!=-1);

  console.log(arr)

Just use split

    let str = ' some text url:"http:/myURL01", some text url:"http:/myURL02", ..., url:"http:/myURL03", some text';

    var arrURL = str.split(",");    
    var i;
    for (i = 0; i < arrURL .length; i++) {
        arrURL[i] = arrURL[i].split("url:").pop();
    }

`split` will not give the right answer. It will just break by comma and won't give the URLs. You have to use regex match. – kiddorails Jun 13 '18 at 03:12

$(document).ready(
    function() {
        var str = ' some text url:"http:/myURL01", some text 
    url:"http:/myURL02", ..., url:"http:/myURL03", some text';
        var trg = new Array();
        $('#elementId').click(function() {
            var list = str.split("http:/");
            for (var i = 1; i < list.length; i++) {
                var elementStr = list[i].split('"');
                trg[i - 1] = '"http:/'+elementStr[0]+'"';
            }
        });
    });

Where 'elementId' is an element id for triggering event
