Question

Is it possible in JavaScript to do something like preg_match_all does in PHP ?

I would like to be able to get two numbers from string:

var text = 'b463_z78';

into two separated variables:

var bannerID = 463;
var zoneID    = 78;

Answer 1

You can use this

.match(/^b(\d+)_z(\d+)$/)

Assuming that the input string is strictly: start with b, digits, then underscore _, then z, then end with digits.

The 2 numbers are in index 1 and index 2 of the returned array.
