Question

I’m using a RegExp that finds words with a hash in front such as #example .

If there is a link in a text with a hash like example.com/#about it comes to problems. So how to extend it to find only words that have also a space in front of the #? (E.g.: hello #world)

var regex:RegExp = /#[^#.,:;!?\s]+(?= #|$)/g;

Thanks. Uli

You probably need something telling it that the space should be an actual space. I think for you it is going to be something like /[\s]# instead of using just / #
