what would be the regular expression for
JIRA #R6K4118
I am using this, but it's not working:
patt=/JIRA #[a-zA-Z]{1,}\d+[a-zA-Z]{1,}[0-9]{1,}/gi; patt.exec(patt); comment=comment.replace(patt,"JIRA #$1$2$3$4");
It's returning JIRA#R-6
Where am I going wrong?
the desired output is
Assuming the string after # is structured just like the example then the regex is:
(Assuming you want to match the whole string)
/JIRA #[a-z]\d[a-z]\d{4}/i
The /i in the end makes it case insensitive, so the we don't need to match both upper and lowercase letters.
const expression = /JIRA #[a-z]\d[a-z]\d{4}/i;
const result = "JIRA #R6K4118".match(expression);
console.log(result);If you want to match just the string after # then use a positive lookbehind:
/(?<=JIRA #)[a-z]\d[a-z]\d{4}/i
const expression = /(?<=JIRA #)[a-z]\d[a-z]\d{4}/i;
const result = "JIRA #R6K4118".match(expression);
console.log(result);
