PHP在JavaScript中的lookbehind

Question

For the following string, I would like to extract the date (Monday), time (6-8pm), and Location(Location1)

Date1: Monday, 6-8pm, Location1
Date2: Tuesday, 1-3pm, Location2
Date3: Wednesday, 4-6pm, Location3

In PHP, I would do preg_match("/(?<=Date\d:\s)(.*),\s(.*),\s(.*)/", $input_line, $output_array); using lookbehind regex, and I can use $output_array to display the data separtely in an array, like:

array[0][1] = Monday, array[0][2] = 6-8pm, array[0][3] = Location1 array[1][1] = Tuesday, array[1][2] = 1-3pm, array[1][3] = Location2 array[2][1] = Wednesday, array[2][2] = 4-6pm, array[2][3] = Location3

I was just wondering how could I achieve the same thing in JavaScript?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Not sure how to do multiple matches at once with JS RegEx, but here are some non-regex solutions:

var input = "Date1: Monday, 6-8pm, Location1
"
          + "Date2: Tuesday, 1-3pm, Location2
"
          + "Date3: Wednesday, 4-6pm, Location3";

var input_lines = input.split("
");

var output = [];

for(var iterator = 0;iterator < input_lines.length;iterator++){
    var input_line = input_lines[iterator];

    input_line = input_line.replace(/Date[0-9]+:\s/, '');

    var line_data = input_line.split(/,\s/);

    output.push(line_data);
}

Or, a shorter version:

var input = "Date1: Monday, 6-8pm, Location1
"
          + "Date2: Tuesday, 1-3pm, Location2
"
          + "Date3: Wednesday, 4-6pm, Location3";

output = [];

// Just a shortened version of the loop in the previous example.
input.split("
").forEach(function(line){
    output.push(line.replace(/Date[0-9]+:\s/, '').split(/,\s/));
});
