regex to get all the values starting with [[ and ending ]]

Question

JavaScript Question I have a string like this:

"Hello my name is [[xxx]] and I love [[yyy]]"

How can I use Regex to give me the array like this: xxx, yyy ?

Answer 1

The regex like this [[.*?]] used within the replace function will do the job:

var str = 'Hello my name is [[xxx]] and I love [[yyy]]';

var resultArray = [];
str.replace(/[[(.*?)]]/g, function(match,match1){
    // write data to result object
    resultArray.push(match1);
});

// show the result in console
console.log(resultArray);
