jquery regexp - regular expression

Question

How can I separate my string by regex match()? I want use only jQuery RegEx.

var MyStr = 'BeginStr ABCDEF EndStr' // The result should: ABCDEF

How can I separate "ABCDEF"?

Below is a solution, but I like to improve it, how can I eliminate the function replace()? I want use only one time the function match().

var MyStr = 'BeginStr ABCDEF EndStr';  // The result should:  ABCDEF
sRegEx = /BeginStr.*?(?=EndStr)/;
var sResult = String(MyStr.match(sRegEx)); // It results: BeginStr ABCDEF
var sMenuPoint = String(MyStr.match(sRegEx)).replace(/BeginStr/, ''); // It results: ABCDEF
alert(sResult);

Thanks in advance, Sandro.

Sorry. I correct my string: The string to cut is between "BeginStr" and "EndStr". var MyStr = 'any string BeginStr ABCDEF EndStr other string'; — user3417601

Thank you, it works :) But I still would like to know whether it would be feasible with match ()? Here is the corrected string: var MyStr = 'any string BeginStr ABCDEF EndStr other string'; — user3417601

Using simple replace() function will do it for you along with group capturing($1, $2, etc):

sResult = MyStr.replace(/.*BeginStr(.*?)(?=EndStr).*/, "$1");

or

sResult = MyStr.replace(/.*BeginStr(.*?)EndStr.*/, "$1");

Although I agree with your solution, OP asked 'how can I eliminate the function replace()?'

@aduch I thought by 'imporove it' he meant to use only one function, can be either replace or match. May be I was confused!!
