Question

In JS/jQuery, I need to strip a YouTube embed code to reveal just the SRC value. How is this possible?

The embed code, for example:

string = "<iframe width="630" height="354" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NYjPglsyYZA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>"

I am looking to grab everything between src=" and ". I’m thinking maybe a regular expression will do it but not overly sure…

Any suggestions would be great.

try :

var str='<iframe width="630" height="354" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NYjPglsyYZA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>'; 
var src = $(str).attr("src");
