Question

How could I achieve something like this?

example_input = "hi, this is example #input, it has a few #different things going #on. #question"

output ===> [input, different, on, question]

This is what I have so far:

text.match(/\#.+?\s+/g)

I’ve be able to get to isolation when followed by white space but I’m not sure how to adapt for , ' ' . or string end / new line

Answer 1

/#\w+\b/g

\b for boundary characters

for spaces, commas, and string ends
use ‘\s’, ‘,’ and ‘$’

/#\w+(\s?|.|$)/g   

here is a list of special characters you can use (read under special characters):
