I want to search inside a Emailbody to the subject. I use

var msgHeader = (data.match(/Subject:\s*(.+)\s+To/i))[1];

But I have now a problem. Inside the Subject there is also a To so the header is cut unhappy. I need to expand the string with ":" to "To:" So I tried:

var msgHeader = (data.match(/Subject:\s*(.+)\s+To\\:/i))[1];

But this will throw a error. What is the secret to looks from "Subject:" up to "To:"?

Can you add some example data to the question? – The fourth bird Nov 29 '19 at 10:52
@anuhava This I tried first, but cause also an error – ingo Nov 29 '19 at 10:53
Could you give to us an example of the data so we could give you an actual working snippet instead of asking you to test out – Orelsanpls Nov 29 '19 at 10:54
`/Subject:\s*([\s\S]*?)\s+To/i`, and check if there is a match before accessing `match[1]`. – Wiktor Stribiżew Nov 29 '19 at 10:59
