string - How can I use javascript to get a substring of whatever is between two parenthesis? -
i trying return "aa" using javascript.
this doesn't work.
var mystr = "item code alpha tengo (aa)"; var newstr = mystr.substring("(",mystr.lastindexof(")"));
you can do:
var mystr = 'item code alpha tengo (aa)'; mystr.replace(/^[^(]*\(|\)[^)]*$/g, ''); // aa
or simpler:
mystr.replace(/.*\(|\).*/g,'')
