How do I match a number inside square brackets with regex
This should work:
var regex = /\[[0-9]+\]/;
edit: with a grouping operator to target just the number:
var regex = /\[([0-9]+)\]/;
With this expression, you could do something like this:
var matches = someStringVar.match(regex);
if (null != matches) {
var num = matches[1];
}
Lookahead is supported, but not lookbehind. You can get close, with a bit of trickery.
To increment multiple numbers in the form of lets say:
var str = '/a/b/[123]/c/[4567]/[2]/69';
Try:
str.replace(/\[(\d+)\]/g, function(m, p1){
return '['+(p1*1+1)+']' }
)
//Gives you => '/a/b/[124]/c/[4568]/[3]/69'
