How can I match multiple occurrences with a regex in JavaScript similar to PHP’s preg_match_all()?

I am trying to parse an xml document like this:

var str = data.match("<string>" + "(.*?)" + "</string>");
console.log(str);

I want to get all the elements between the [string] in an array but for some reason, it only returns the first string element found. Im not good with regular expressions so Im thinking this is just a small regex issue.

Answer 1

You want it to be global g

var str="<string>1</string><string>2</string><string>3</string>"; 
var n=str.match(/<string>(.*?)<\/string>/g);
 //1,2,3
