Question

Here is the case:
I want to find the elements which match the regex…

targetText = “SomeT1extSomeT2extSomeT3extSomeT4extSomeT5extSomeT6ext”

and I use the regex in javascript like this

reg = new RegExp(/e(.*?)e/g);   
var result = reg.exec(targetText);

and I only get the first one, but not the follow….
I can get the T1 only, but not T2, T3 … …

Answer 1

function doSomethingWith(result) {
  console.log(result)
}

const targetText = "SomeT1extSomeT2extSomeT3extSomeT4extSomeT5extSomeT6ext"
const reg = /e(.*?)e/g;
let result;
while ((result = reg.exec(targetText)) !== null) {
  doSomethingWith(result);
}
