Question

I know this question has been asked many times but those examples aren’t working for me.

I’m trying to get the minute part of time in a single regular expression. What I have is:

minute = new RegExp(":[0-9]{1,2}").exec(time).toString().replace(":", "");

How can I get this done without using the .replace?

Answer 1

Use a capture group to get only what you want.

var time = '12:29',
    minute = /:([0-9]{1,2})/.exec(time)[1];

// minute is "29"
