Question

Example: Alex is my name!

I wan’t to assign in variable for the first word that end with letter “x”.

What jquery code to use? your help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

The following regular expression will match a word ending with “x”:

var firstX = /\b\w*x/;

If you run that on some text, the result will contain the word:

var match = firstX.exec(someText);
var word = match ? match[0] : null;

If you want that word, and then the rest of the string following it:

var firstX = /\b(\w*x)\b(.*)$/;
var match = firstX.exec(someText);
var word = match ? match[1] : null;
var theRest = match ? match[2] : null;
