Retrieving a 4-digit number from a text string using Selenium IDE - encountering an error notification

I'm currently working on creating a regex in Selenium IDE to extract a 4-digit number from an input text that has been stored using the storeValue command. An example of the string that is stored is: 

'undergraduate 2016 computer science'
. When successfully extracting the 4-digit number, the result should be 2016, then reassigned and stored as a variable named year. Here is my attempt at achieving this:

storeValue | xpath=/html/body/form/div[4]/div/div/section/div[1]/div/input[1] | year
storeEval | storedVars['year'].match(/\\d{4}/)[0]; | year

However, upon running the code, I encountered the error message: 

[error] Threw an exception: missing ; before statement
. Does anyone have suggestions on how this issue can be resolved? Thank you in advance.

Answer №1

In order to use the regex properly, enclose it within the necessary js regex delimiters /regex/ and then place it inside braces.

Make sure to include storedVars['year'].match(/[0-9]{4}/);

If you want to specifically match a 4-digit number, remember to add word boundaries.

storedVars['year'].match(/\b[0-9]{4}\b/);
