How do I split string value with Regex expression and return an array and object?

Input: Hi #[Pill(google.0.LastName)], How is going #[Pill(google.0.FirstName)]?

this Input has regex expression of const pillRegex = /#\[dataPill\((.*)\)\]/i;

#[Pill(google.0.LastName)] and #[Pill(google.0.LastName)] are the matching results.

I want to build an array with objects and indicate if the value is matched or not. (If you have better data structure, you can use it)

[
   {
      pill: false, //not matched
      svalue: 'Hi ' //value
   }, {
      pill: true, //matching regex
      svalue: ["google", "0", "Last Name"]] //the value

   },
   ...
]

Okay, here’s my second answer to your problem. This time I’m splitting it on the regex.

var input = “Hi #[Pill(google.0.LastName)], How is going #[Pill(google.0.FirstName)]?”;

const regex = new RegExp(/#\[Pill\([A-Za-z0-9]+\.\d\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+\)\]/);

input = input.split(/(#\[Pill\([A-Za-z0-9]+\.\d\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+\)\])/g);

output = [];

input.forEach(word => {
    temp = {
        pill: regex.test(word),
        svalue: word + “ “
    };
    output.push(temp);
});

console.dir(output);

Output:

[
  {
    "pill": false,
    "svalue": "Hi  "
  },
  {
    "pill": true,
    "svalue": "#[Pill(google.0.LastName)] "
  },
  {
    "pill": false,
    "svalue": ", How is going  "
  },
  {
    "pill": true,
    "svalue": "#[Pill(google.0.FirstName)] "
  },
  {
    "pill": false,
    "svalue": "? "
  }
]

Okay here is some code I wrote, that I think achieves what you’re looking for:

var input = “Hi #[Pill(google.0.LastName)], How is going #[Pill(google.0.FirstName)]?”;

const regex = new RegExp(/#\[Pill\(google\.\d\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+\)\]/);

input = input.split(“ “);

output = [];

input.forEach(word => {
    temp = {
        pill: regex.test(word),
        svalue: word + “ “
    };
    output.push(temp);
});

console.dir(output);

Output:

[
  {
    "pill": false,
    "svalue": "Hi"
  },
  {
    "pill": true,
    "svalue": "#[Pill(google.0.LastName)],"
  },
  {
    "pill": false,
    "svalue": "How"
  },
  {
    "pill": false,
    "svalue": "is"
  },
  {
    "pill": false,
    "svalue": "going"
  },
  {
    "pill": true,
    "svalue": "#[Pill(google.0.FirstName)]?"
  }
]
