Question

Possible Duplicates:
Get query string values in JavaScript
Use the get paramater of the url in javascript

I have a long list of URLs where in one part of the URL I’ve got a command such as ‘KEY=123’. I would like to find all those keys.

For Example: /somecommand?ACTION=UPDATE&DATATYPE=1&KEY=462&NUMBER=123.5263&SOMEID=845&IDTYPE=1

How could this be accomplished? My idea was just to search all the ‘KEY’ words and look for the number next to it – but I guess there is something much quicker for this.

The language of preference would be Javascript.

EDIT:

The URLs are cluttered and can’t be extrapolated out of the text easily. a small example of the text:

The Javascript you’d need would be something like –

var text = 'ACTION=UPDATE&DATATYPE=1&KEY=462&NUMBER=123.5263&SOMEID=845&IDTYPE=1&key=678';
var matches = text.match(/KEY=\d*|key=\d*/g);
for (i=0; i<matches.length; i++) {
   alert(matches[i]);
}

If you wanted just the number, you could do something like –

var text = 'ACTION=UPDATE&DATATYPE=1&KEY=462&NUMBER=123.5263&SOMEID=845&IDTYPE=1&key=678';
var matches = text.match(/KEY=\d*|key=\d*/g);
for (i=0; i<matches.length; i++) {
   alert(matches[i].toLowerCase().replace('key=',''));
}
