@Robbie I need to write a code to get a value from the string that is passed to ServiceNow. To get the value i am trying to use regex to get the value

var str = "this is a test 5005123";

In the above string i need to get the value 5005123

var str = "this is a test 123Abc12CD";

In the above string using regex i need to get the value of 123Abc12CD

Hi @kali

Here you go-

var str1 = "this is a test 5005123";
var str2 = "this is a test 123Abc12CD";

var regex = /(\d+[A-Za-z]*\d*[A-Za-z]*)/;

var match1 = str1.match(regex);
var match2 = str2.match(regex);

var value1 = match1 ? match1[0] : null;
var value2 = match2 ? match2[0] : null;

gs.info(value1); // Output: 5005123
gs.info(value2); // Output: 123Abc12CD

Please mark my answer helpful and correct.

Regards,

Amit

Hi @Amit,

Thanks for your response , There is a change in the ask I would like to get a regex to capture a word from the string if it has only digits/digits+letters/letters+digits/. Is it possible

For example

var str1= "this is a test r11MS0AB8; // output is r11MS0AB8

var str 2 = ""this is a test 123Abc12CD"; // output is 123Abc12CD

var str3 = "this is a test 51571008"; // output is 51571008

Is it possible to create a regex to show the above output. Thanks in advance

var str1 = "this is a test r11MS0AB8";
var str2 = "this is a test 123Abc12CD";
var str3 = "this is a test 51571008";

var regex = /\b(?=[a-zA-Z0-9]*\d)[a-zA-Z0-9]+\b/;

var match1 = str1.match(regex);
var match2 = str2.match(regex);
var match3 = str3.match(regex);

gs.print(match1 ? match1[0] : 'No match'); // Output: r11MS0AB8
gs.print(match2 ? match2[0] : 'No match'); // Output: 123Abc12CD
gs.print(match3 ? match3[0] : 'No match'); // Output: 51571008
