Get string value between a string and a single character

[ceraulo]

Hello!

I am working on a script to get the value between a string and a character. The sample is:

Name: firlas (Last Name, First Name)

The requirement is to get the value of "firlas". I tried creating a regex but it won't accept the character "(".  

var regex = /(?:Name: )(.*)(?:()/g;

Please help!

Thank you.

Hi @ceraulo ,

are you expecting only 'firlas' text from it. If yes try below

var name='Name: firlas (Last Name, First Name)';
var val=name.split(' (');
gs.info(val[0]);
var finalname=val[0].split('Name: ')
gs.info(finalname[1]);

This works! Thank you.
