I have SVG string and I need to extract its two attributes: width and height.

I can’t use some XML parser since I am using this with Titanium Studio framework so I don’t have DOM anywhere.

SVG’s looks like this:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" width="768" height="1005" space="preserve">
    LOT OF DATA HERE... <></> etc
</svg>

I started with something like this:

var width = svgString.match( /^<svg.\width.=.(.*)$>/gm );

It’s 4 AM and my brain is just not working.
If someone could help it would be great! Thx.

    Assuming jmar777’s code works, I would use a different, more conservative, regex, which allows for optional spaces, optional quotes and confirms that values are from svg tag itself (and not from some other tag if absent in svg tag). This might or might not make difference in your case, depending on where you get those svgs and how they are formed.

    var width = svgString.match(/^<svg[^>]*width\s*=\s*\"?(\d+)\"?[^>]*>/)[1];
var height = svgString.match(/^<svg[^>]*height\s*=\s*\"?(\d+)\"?[^>]*>/)[1];
