I'm trying to extract all words from a string which are between quotes.
Here's my current code:
func StrExtract(word string) []string {
r, _ := regexp.Compile(`".*"`)
result := r.FindAllString(word, -1)
RemoveDuplicates(&result)
return (result)
}
Test the code here
With an input like:
`Hi guys, this is a "test" and a "demo" ok?`
I get the output:
["test" and a "demo"]
But I'd like to get:
[test demo]
Please help me fix this, or suggest better alternatives.
分享 You can just add a lazy quantifier .*?, ".*?" being the regex, if you want to keep it simple. The reason you are getting "test" and a "demo" is because just .* is greedy and matches as much text as possible (therefore, it actually matches the " before test and after demo, ignoring the fact that there are other quotes in between).
Normally a better but in some ways slightly more complicated way to do this is using character classes "[^"]*", disabling matching quotes in between. This can also cause some other behaviors like including newlines (in which case you can also disable them [^"
], or perhaps you actually want such a case)
Since you want to also not have the quotes some additional things need to be done. You can do that with either lookarounds: (?<=")[^"]*(?="), or with capture groups: "(.*?)" and "([^"]*)". If you choose the capture group route, you have to use the capture group, not whole matches.
