I want to be able to extract the text embedded between a tag e.g. I want to get the text "TEST" from
"<"Subject">" TEST "</"Subject">"
I have used First
RegexMatch /(<Subect>).*(</Subject>)/i)
but get an error
"/ An unescaped delimiter must be escaped with a backslash ()".
Any help on how I can achieve this?

I may be missing something, but can't you simply useinnerHTML? developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/innerHTML

If you want to do this with a regex, you have to escape '/' (with a preceding '') if it's part of your search string
s = '"<"Subject">" TEST "</"Subject">"';
console.log(s.replace(/"<"Subject">"(.*)"</"Subject">"/, '$1'))answered Nov 8 at 16:51
