Matching word using Regular Expression in a string

I am using jQuery DataTable to display records and I want to search using RegExp in certain scenario
I am having string as:

var str="ATP ,Defib 30 J (830 V),Defib 30 J (830 V),Aborted Defib 30 J (830 V),Aborted CVRT 15 J (588 V)";

if I search using only CVRT, then It should not be matched, but if I searched using Aborted CVRT, it should be matched. i.e. If I enter text starting after comma,text should be matched like searching with Aborted CVRT or Defib 30, Also should match ATP (first in string).

Thanks in Advance

If I understand correctly, you should use two RegExs, one for the Defib 30, other for ATP.

Something like these two:

  1. ,\w+ \w+

Matches: ,Defib 30, etc.

  1. ^\w+

Matches: ATP.

If you don't need that ,, you can replicate positive look behind:

var matches = [], str = "ATP ,Defib 30 J (830 V),Defib 30 J (830 V),Aborted Defib 30 J (830 V),Aborted CVRT 15 J (588 V)";

str.replace(/(,)(\w+ \w+)?/g, function(match, $0, $1){
    if($0) matches.push($1)
});

console.log(matches); // ["Defib 30", "Defib 30", "Aborted Defib", "Aborted CVRT"]

Use string .match() in javascript.The match() method searches a string for a match against a regular expression, and returns the matches, as an Array object.

var str = "ATP ,Defib 30 J (830 V),Defib 30 J (830 V),Aborted Defib 30 J (830 V),Aborted CVRT 15 J (588 V)"; 

var res = str.match(/CVRT/g);

console.log(res);
