I want to create a JavaScript that can pick the word between two characters
for example:
Let's say I have this:

JavaScript

var myString = "Get me 0between0 results";
var results; //to store results which should be "between"

regular expression to get result as "between" without those zeros.

Thanks In Advance.

Solution 2

Use substring.

JavaScript

var myString = "Get me 0between0 results";

var start_pos = myString.indexOf('0') + 1;
var end_pos = myString.indexOf('0',start_pos);
var text_to_get = myString.substring(start_pos,end_pos);

alert(text_to_get);
