This is my input: 

$.drawPlots({"times":[1578009600,1578096000,1578182400,1578268800,1578355200,1578441600,1578528000,1578614400,1578700800,1578787200,1578873600,1578960000,1579046400,1579132800,1579219200,1579305600,1579392000,1579478400,1579564800,1579651200,1579737600],"plots":{"assigned":[9,0,0,24,17,21,17,23,0,0,28,20,32,19,12,0,0,15,25,36,19],"closed":[15,0,0,34,46,37,38,70,0,0,42,21,67,48,54,0,0,41,38,55,19],"created":[21,2,2,38,28,33,39,62,2,1,43,27,36,53,33,1,1,44,41,58,20],"deleted":[4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],"edited":[3,0,0,43,207,2,4,0,0,0,0,2,1,1,2,0,0,0,2,3,0],"overdue":[0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0],"reopened":[0,0,0,4,6,4,2,3,0,0,3,5,4,3,4,0,0,5,2,2,5]},"events":["assigned","closed","created","deleted","edited","overdue","reopened"]});
    // Set Selected Period For Dashboard Stats and Export

And I want to return 

{"times":[1578009600,1578096000,1578182400,1578268800,1578355200,1578441600,1578528000,1578614400,1578700800,1578787200,1578873600,1578960000,1579046400,1579132800,1579219200,1579305600,1579392000,1579478400,1579564800,1579651200,1579737600],"plots":{"assigned":[9,0,0,24,17,21,17,23,0,0,28,20,32,19,12,0,0,15,25,36,19],"closed":[15,0,0,34,46,37,38,70,0,0,42,21,67,48,54,0,0,41,38,55,19],"created":[21,2,2,38,28,33,39,62,2,1,43,27,36,53,33,1,1,44,41,58,20],"deleted":[4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],"edited":[3,0,0,43,207,2,4,0,0,0,0,2,1,1,2,0,0,0,2,3,0],"overdue":[0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0],"reopened":[0,0,0,4,6,4,2,3,0,0,3,5,4,3,4,0,0,5,2,2,5]},"events":["assigned","closed","created","deleted","edited","overdue","reopened"]}

One of my attempts ended up like this:

For the above I used:

const regex = /[^\\\:\$\s\.\"]/gm;
const plot = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[8].firstChild.data
const array = plot.match(regex)

I think it's the match() method thats inserting the delimiters, so how can I prevent that? And also, how can I write the regex to only include the characters included in the curly brackets?

    What is the difference between your input and the expected output ? – Cid Jan 23 '20 at 12:31
  • So you basically just want to “remove the function call” around this? Strip `$.drawPlots(` from the beginning, and `);` from the end? Always for that specific method, or does it need to be dynamic in some way? – 04FS Jan 23 '20 at 12:36
  • I think this is what you need https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17779744/regular-expression-to-get-a-string-between-parentheses-in-javascript – Narek Gevorgyan Jan 23 '20 at 12:41
  • @04FS yeah exactly that. Just once. Is there a way to match only the argument? And Cid, the returned array does not preserve the hierarchy of the input I beleive. – ancsjs Jan 23 '20 at 12:42
