Question

Been a long time since I have touched regular expressions. It’s simple but I am pulling my hair out over it.

I have a string as follows that I get from the DOM "MIN20, MAX40". I want to be able to use regex in JavaScript to extract the integer next to MIN and the integer next to MAX and put into separate variables min and max. I cannot figure a way to do it.

Thanks to who ever helps me, you will be a life saver!

Cheers

You can use:

var input   = "MIN20, MAX40";
var matches = input.match(/MIN(\d+),\s*MAX(\d+)/);
var min = matches[1];
var max = matches[2];
