Question

I have a string in the form:

var testStr="keyword:(test word) keyword2:(test word2) keyword3"

I am trying to remove all elements which comes before the : till a space occurs and after : till ) occurs. so the testStr should only return keyword3 for this example. The occurences of terms is not fixed. the keyword, testword can occur n number of times.

Answer 1

Try:

testStr.replace(/\S*:\([^)]*\)\s*/g, '');
