I am new to the world of regex. I have a string that looks like this:
cn=foo,ou=bar,ou=zoo,ou=aa,ou=bb,ou=cc,ou=dd,o=someOrg,c=UKfoo, bar, and zoo from it using JavaScript regex.
const dn = 'cn=foo,ou=bar,ou=zoo,ou=aa,ou=bb,ou=cc,ou=dd,o=someOrg,c=UK';
const regex = /^cn=(\w+),ou=(\w+),ou=(\w+)/;
const found = dn.match(regex);
console.log(found) --> Array ["cn=foo,ou=bar,ou=zoo", "foo", "bar", "zoo"]
Later on, the value of ou=bar needs to be changed based on a new requirement to ou=bar - 1, where the new value may contain a - or a number in any order within the string. I attempted to modify my regex pattern as follows:
const regex = /^cn=(\w+),ou=(.+),ou=(\w+)/;
Unfortunately, this regex returned unwanted data:
Array ["cn=foo,ou=bar,ou=zoo,ou=aa,ou=bb,ou=cc,ou=dd", "foo", "bar,ou=zoo,ou=aa,ou=bb,ou=cc", "dd"]What I actually want is:
Array ["cn=foo,ou=bar - 1,ou=zoo", "foo", "bar - 1", "zoo"]^(ou=aa|ou=bb|ou=cc|ou=dd|o=someOrg|c=UK)null value. Any help with correcting the regex syntax would be greatly appreciated.
Update:
I experimented with
/^cn=(\w+),ou=(\w+\s+-\s+\d+),ou=(\w+)/ou=bar-1 or ou=1bar-...
