javascript - Need to pull data out of a string

Hi I have a datatables based table that holds data. I need to be able to get the values out of the following string that I have been able to do so far.

<input name="jobNo" value="job_no_123" />job_no_123

I need to be able to get the name and the value and store into separate variables that I then pass off to do something else.

However I do also have another 4 fields on the page that I need to capture too:

<input name="item_1" value="data1" />data1
<input name="item_2" value="data2" />data2
<input name="item_3" value="data3" />data3
<input name="item_4" value="data4" />data4

And of top of this, this would only be the data from one row, and I need to do this for multiple rows too. But I need to start somewhere.

Please help.

Thanks

This regex can find the values from your code. However, it assumes that the input is strictly in that format, with no variations in even whitespace.

<input name="(.*)" value="(.*)" />

The values will be in captured groups 1 and 2.

Note: I am aware that regex should not be used to parse HTML, but if the input is strict enough, it works.

I am not sure what are your needs but here is a code that should help

$('input').each(function(i, val){
    $(this).attr('name'); // will get the attribute name
    $(this).attr('value'); // will get the attribute value
    $(this).attr('text');  // will get the text inside the input
});
