Question

I have the following string:

<span class="ClassName @variable" title="ClassName @variable">Variable Title</span>

“ClassName”, “variable” & “Variable Title” are paramerters.

Now I want to extract the “ClassName”, “variable” and “Variable Title” from that sentence. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Javascript:

var matches = /<span class="(.*)" title="(.*)">(.*)<\/span>/.exec(str);

Where str is your tag.

Then…

matches[1]=class
matches[2]=title
matches[3]=tag content

Note that you should really use a proper HTML parser for this kind of thing rather than Regex but never mind 🙂
