Is it possible in javascript regex, to match string inside the string matched by my capture group?
-3
I have following string dfed operator 11 - 145. I am trying to match string operator 11 and inside this matched string, i am trying to match string 11. Currently I successfully matched operator 11 with regex ((O|o)perator(i|I)?s*)d+(?=s*(-|_)s*d+). As I am in javascript, I can not use lookbehinds.
Is my approach correct? Is there any way to accomplish this in regex? How can i match string 11 inside previously matched string operator 11?
Thank you

You can modify your regex by creating a group for the first number in the matched string:
const str = 'dfed operator 11 - 145';
const regex = /([O|o]perator)[i|I]?s*(d+)*[?=s*(-|_)s*d+]/;
const found = str.match(regex);
console.log(found);
console.log(found[1]); // <-- group for string
console.log(found[2]); // <-- group for numberanswered Nov 20 at 8:19

You could use (mind the case insensitive flag in the demo):
operatorD+(d+)
