I want to match all the emails that are after the text "Email: "
However, when using match
, the matches return the whole string: Email: demo@example.com
.
Isn't there a way to just return the text matched by the parenthesis within the regular expression? (.*?)
I just want to get the email address: demo@example.com
This is what I got so far:
var regex = new RegExp('E-mail:\\s(.*?)<br>', 'mg');
var matches = document.body.innerHTML.match(regex);
And yeap, I know using exec
on a loop can retrieve on an array just the email. But I would have to manually create the loop and get what I want:
var regex = new RegExp('E-mail:\\s(.*?)<br>', 'mg');
var allMatches = [];
while( matches = regex.exec(document.body.innerHTML)){
allMatches.push(matches[1]);
}
console.log(allMatches);
