Here is the my string
var string = 'Title:(India OR America) OR Keyword:(Education)';
After splitting with "OR" it is showing
["Title:(India", "America)", "Keyword:(Education)"]
But what I need is the below one.
["Title:(India OR America)", "Keyword:(Education)"]
Could anyone please help on how to split the string to get the required result.
To achieve this you'll need to use a negative lookahead to only find the OR string where it's not contained in parentheses. Try this:
var input = 'Title:(India OR America) OR Keyword:(Education)';
var output = input.split(/(?!\(.*)\s?OR\s?(?![^(]*?\))/g);
console.log(output);

I am trying to write a Java Script function that should enclose all the special characters in the given String in a bracket like following -
Input ===> Output
123##$, ====> 123[#][#][$][,]
Changing All the special characters to certain String [ _ in this case] is easy -
string = string.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g,'_');

I'm trying to split string
x#x,a,b,c,d(some(other,arg2),p)#yyy into array
['x#x','a','b','c','d(some(other,arg2),p)#yyy'].
The problem i faced is that i cannot split just comma /\,/g since members that contains already commas would split also. Any ideas?

i've to find the sequence of chars ,. inside a json file for example: ":0,.0}},{", so what is the best fitted regex string for it?
i tried /(,.){1,}/g but it doesn't work well.
It's because . is a special character.
const r = /(?:,\.)+/g
console.log('abc,.,.,.def'.match(r)) //[",.,.,."]
you need to escape the .:
/,\./g

Why do regex constructors need to be double escaped?

I am trying to incorporate a regular expression i have used in the past in a different manner into some validation checking through JavaScript.
The following is my script:
var regOrderNo = new RegExp("\d{6}");
var order_no = $("input[name='txtordernumber']").val();
alert(regOrderNo.test(order_no));
Why would this not come back with true if the txtordernumber text box value was a six digit number or more?
You have to escape your \ when used inside a string.
new RegExp("\\d{6}");
or
/\d{6}/
Insert an extra "\" in your regexp.
You need to escape your backslash. It's looking for "\d", not digits.
So...
var regOrderNo = new RegExp("\\d{6}");
