Get String from Replace function with regex

Question

How to get string that is present in regular expression.

Input: For example HtmlContent contains string

"<% CustomerSignUpURL ||Text:Hello Abhishek %>"

Output: after replacing string should be anchor tag like below:

Hello Abhishek //  where Hello Abhishek is anchor tag

Please help me with the code what should be there in place of question mark given below:

campaignInfo.HtmlContent = campaignInfo.HtmlContent.replace(
    /<% CustomerSignUpURL ||Text:([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+) %>/g,
    '<a href="<% CustomerSignUpURL %>">{????}</a>'
);

I think you're just looking for $1 ?

First, get the content of the tag by:

const tagContent = campaignInfo
    .HtmlContent
    .match(/CustomerSignUpURL \|\|(.*):(.*)%>/)[2];

// then replace it with:
campaignInfo.HtmlContent = campaignInfo.HtmlContent.replace(
    /<% CustomerSignUpURL \|\|Text:.+?(?=>)./g,
    `<a href="<% CustomerSignUpURL %>">${tagContent}</a>`
);
