Question

Hello guys, I need to parse my textarea to get all words (followed by spaces) that has a $ as a prefix.

For example, I have the follwing text:

my name is $Ahmad and I wish $peace to all the $world

Now I need to extraxt $Ahmad and $peace, but not $world (because it has no spaces behind).

Answer 1

var matches = str.match(/\B\$[^ ]+(?= )/g);
