Parser For String

Suppose i have a string, str = 'Date()+Abs(9)Day()+45' I want an array that contains: arr[0]=Date() arr[1]=Abs(9) arr[2]=Day() My current parser: var temp = str.match(/\w+(\

Solution 1:

This is a pretty easy expression.

/          -- START expression
  \w+      -- One or more alpha-numeric (plus '_')
  \(       -- Literal opening parenthesis
  [\w/-]*  -- Zero or more alpha-numeric (plus '_', '/', and '-')
  \)       -- Literal closing parenthesis
/g         -- END expression; Global match

var str = "Date(20/04/98)+Abs(-9)Day(20/04/98)+45"var arr = str.match(/\w+\([\w/-]*\)/g);

console.log(JSON.stringify(arr, null, 2));

// arr[0] = Date(20/04/98)// arr[1] = Abs(-9)// arr[2] = Day(20/04/98)
