Regex

Hi All,

I am using regex to get a aphanumeric or numer from a string . I am using regex

/[a-zA-Z0-9]*\d+[a-zA-Z]/g; however it is returning only aphanumeric but ignoring numbers in the string .Please help me to get both aphanumeric or numeric value from a string.

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

Hi @kali,

Can you provide an example of the string prior to extraction and then the results. For example, if you're trying to extract the parameters frmo a URL which contains / chars etc.

IT will help provide and test the solutions.
