Javascript regex match

Question

I'm working on a function to parse a text field. Below are some scenarios:

In: "about"
Result: var keywords = "about"
In: "type:page " (notice the space)
Result: var types = ["page"];
In: "type:page about"
Result: var types = ["page"], keywords = "about";
In: "type:page,event The Event"
Result: var types = ["page", "event"], keywords = "The Event";

Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I'd parse this using RegEx?

• timdream: How about The Event type:page,event? I think you need to write a full function instead of a single line of regexp

Answer 1

 function inOut (input) {
 var output = {};
 if (input.indexOf('type:') !== -1) {
 output.types = input.replace(/^.*type:([^ ]+).*$/, '1ドル').split(',');
 output.keywords = input.replace(/^(.*)type:([^ ]+)(.*)$/, '1ドル 3ドル');
 } else {
 output.keywords = input;
 }
 return output;
 }

Try this?
