Question

I have a long string url, and in it somewhere is “http://www.webcitation.org/65aOmhrdM”. I need to write a regex to find “65aOmhrdM” (the pattern is always num,num,lowercase,uppercase,lowercase,lowercase,lowercase,lowercase,uppercase).

I’m looking to say:

var matches = url.match(/regex here/);

Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is a regex for the pattern you gave:

\d{2}[a-z][A-Z][a-z]{4}[A-Z]

If you want to pull it from that url you could do something like this:

/http:\/\/www.webcitation.org\/(\d{2}[a-z][A-Z][a-z]{4}[A-Z])/
