I don’t think you need to use .match() - but a slight update to @siwadon’s solution might resolve multiples within the notes:
$notes.replace(/.*(#IF:.{9}).*/g, (...args) => args[1].slice(-9))The “g” at the end of the pattern tells it to search the string globally. The slice(-9) will give only the 9 characters following the #IF. Multiple matches are separated with a \n (newline) character.
Hi,
I tested both but it still shows text after the nine characters. on the second one. Is it because thats a new line of text?
$notes.replace(/.*(#IF:.{9}).*/, (...args) => args[1])It replaces the matched string with the first capture group (#IF: and the following 9 characters).
This will not work correctly when the input contains multiple matches. If that’s the case, please let me know. You might need to use
.match()instead.It’s the newline character in the string that is causing the issue. The dot notation for character matching in regex does not match newlines. After a bit of thought, we can also simplify the result by using the regex group capture syntax. Try this:
$notes.replaceAll('\n','').replace(/.*#IF:(.{9}).*/g, '$1')Thank you it works now. I get it now. Still improving my regex 🙂
Thank you @JensDeveloper for raising this, I got to learn something new as well.
@koryknick and @siwadon’s suggestion and help on this one has been much appreciated.
