Question

I have one variable holding single line string which is html element like this.

var des = "<p> --Sometext before-- FI: This is fi name, This is fi manufacturer <br /> SE:This is se name, This is se manufacturer <br /> EN: This is en name, This is en manufacturer</p>";

I want to select everything after FI: until comma sign into one variable and after comma sign until
tag into another variable. Also for SE: and EN: too.

For example, result will be like this.

    var fi_name         = "This is fi name";
    var fi_manufacturer = "This is fi manufacturer";
    var se_name         = "This is se name";
    var se_manufacturer = "This is se manufacturer";
    var en_name         = "This is en name";
    var en_manufacturer = "This is en manufacturer";

Note, the string change dynamically but still have same pattern.

For example:

<p> --Sometext before-- FI:[name],[manufacturer]<br/ >SE:[name],[manufacturer]<br/ >FI:[name],[manufacturer]</p>

You can have a look at demo in JsFiddle.

Now it’s throwing null error.

Edited v v v

It’s not working in live website. The des variable is fully look like this.
Please see http://jsfiddle.net/AM8X2/ It’s throwing null again.

I changed your jsFiddle to this:

http://jsfiddle.net/11684/raPDd/4/

I added upper case letters and spaces and comma’s to your regex, so it doesn’t return null (because no match was found) and the rest was fine.
The result:

var fi,se,en;
var des = "<p>FI: This is fi name, This is fi manufacturer <br /> SE:This is se name, This is se manufacturer <br /> EN: This is en name, This is en manufacturer</p>";

var match = des.match(/<p>FI:([a-zA-Z ,]+)<br \/> SE:([a-zA-Z ,]+)<br \/> EN:([a-zA-Z ,]+)<\/p>/);
fi = match[1];
se = match[2];
en = match[3];

alert("[FI]: " + fi + "\n[SE]:" + se + "\n[EN]:" + en);​

EDIT:
I didn’t see you needed the name and manufacturer in separate variables, I edited the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/11684/raPDd/5/ to this:

var fi,se,en;
var des = "<p>FI: This is fi name, This is fi manufacturer <br /> SE:This is se name, This is se manufacturer <br /> EN: This is en name, This is en manufacturer</p>";

var match = des.match(/<p>FI:([a-zA-Z ,]+)<br \/> SE:([a-zA-Z ,]+)<br \/> EN:([a-zA-Z ,]+)<\/p>/);
fi = match[1];
se = match[2];
en = match[3];

//After that just split on the comma:

var fi_name = fi.split(",")[0];
var fi_manu = fi.split(",")[1];
var en_name = en.split(",")[0];
var en_manu = en.split(",")[1];
var se_name = se.split(",")[0];
var se_manu = se.split(",")[1];
