I'm not very experienced in Regex. Can you tell me how to get a string value from between two strings?
The subject will always be in this format : //subject/some_other_stuff
I need to get the string found between // and /.
For example:
Full String = //Manhattan/Project
Output = Manhattan
Any help will be very much appreciated.
You can use a negated character class and reference capturing group #1 for your match result.
//([^/]+)/
Explanation:
// # '//'
( # group and capture to \1:
[^/]+ # any character except: '/' (1 or more times)
) # end of \1
/ # '/'
You could use the below regex which uses lookarounds.
(?<=\/\/)[^\/]+(?=\/)
Since the strings are always of the same format, you can simply split them on / and then retrieve the element at index 2 (the third element):
PS > $str = "//Manhattan/Project"
PS > $str.split('/')[2]
Manhattan
PS > $str = "//subject/some_other_stuff"
PS > $str.split('/')[2]
subject
PS >
