JS regular expression to find a substring surrounded by double quotes
- by 2619
I need to find a substring surrounded by double quotes, for example, like "test", "te\"st" or "", but not """ neither "\". To achieve this, which is the best way to go for it in the following
1) /".*"/g
2) /"[^"\\]*(?:\\[\S\s][^"\\]*)*"/g
3) /"(?:\\?[\S\s])*?"/g
4) /"([^"\\]*("|\\[\S\s]))+/g
I was asked this question yesterday during an interview, and would like to know the answer for future reference.
