Question

I have:

var post = $('.post');
post.find('.video embed').each(function(){
    v = $(this);
    youtubeID = v.attr('src').replace(/^.*youtube.com.*(?:\/|v=)(\w+)\//g,"");
    console.log(youtubeID);
})

Here’s an example URL taken from the embed src

http://www.youtube.com/v/_eeZnLX_XBM&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1

It strips the everything up to /v/ but not the ampersand and everything after that.

I want _eeZnLX_XBM only.

Answer 1

Try with:

youtubeID = v.attr('src').match(/youtube\.com.*?v[\/=](\w+)/)[1];
