Hi,
I have a string that looks like this:
<span class='$variable'>
I want to strip everything else but the $variable inside so I tried this:
string.replace('/<span class=\'/','/\'>/');
I have used this regex on php but it doesnt seem to work on javascript. What is the correct regex in this case?
Thank you.
CodePudding user response：
Use
.replace(/<span class='(.*?)'>/, '$1')
See regex proof.
