[RESOLVED] How to separate word by regexp

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,
I’d like to get three words from string. They are isolated with begin and end of line and chars ‘:’ and ‘&’.

1) one:two&three
2) one&two:three

Now I’d like to get the word between:
1) ^..: or :..$
2) :..&, &..:
3) ^..& or &..$

there can be any word instead the one, two, three

lastWord = null;
wordVal = "one&two:three";
wordVal = "one:two&three";
word = wordVal.match(/(w*)&(w*)/);
console.log(word);
lastWordOnBegin = wordVal.match(/^(w*):.*/);
if (lastWordOnBegin) lastWord = {'where':"^",
'value':lastWordOnBegin[1] }
else {
lastWordOnEnd = wordVal.match(/.*:(w*)$/);
if (lastWordOnEnd) lastWord = {'where':"$",
'value':lastWordOnEnd[1] }

}
if (lastWord.where=="^") console.log(lastWord.value+" on begin");
else if (lastWord.where=="$") console.log(lastWord.value+" on the end");
else console.log("Last word was not found");
[/CODE]
