Extract String from between 2 Strings with Jquery

Question

How do I extract 'inc/funcs.asp' from the string below, with Jquery or Javascript.

<script>
 var str = '<!-- #include file="inc/funcs.asp" -->';  
</script>

I imagine the pattern must start with looking for '#include file="'

You can use this regex:

/file="([^"]+)/

and grab captured group #1

Code:

var fval = (str.match(/file="([^"]+)/) || ['', ''])[1];

Interesting, I see your logic, by grabbing out what's between the double quotes. I was originally going for a more complicated approach.

var text = '<!-- #include file="inc/funcs.asp" -->';
var str = text.match(/"(.*?)"/);
alert(str[1]);

var str = '<!-- #include file="inc/funcs.asp" -->';  
str.match(/\"(.+)\"/)[1];

returns "inc/funcs.asp"
