Match string with numbers and forward slash in it using regex and javascript-CodePudding

I'm trying to match a string using regex that sometimes contains a forward slash in it it /.

This is an example string. Armor Wars #1/2

But it could also be Armor Wars #1 or Armor Wars #25.2 or Armor Wars #5.NOW virtually anything can come after the #.

This is the code I have right now, but I can't get it grab the full #1/2. It will just grab #1

const message = 'Armor Wars #1/2' // Try edit me

const issueNumber = message.match(/#\w /)[0]

// Log to console
console.log(issueNumber)

I've tried various other patterns, but can't figure out why it just keeps stopping at the slash.

CodePudding user response：

You can use

/#\w (?:[\/.]\w )?/

Details:

# - a # char
\w - one or more letters, digits or underscores
(?:[\/.]\w )? - an optional sequence of
- [\/.] - a / or .
- \w - one or more "word" chars

See the JavaScript demo:

const message = 'Armor Wars #1/2'
console.log( message.match(/#\w (?:[\/.]\w )?/)[0] ) // => #1/2
