Get Sub strings from Regex Pattern

Question

I want to get "North" and "6544789" strings separately from "North-6544789-Input.csv" by using Regex pattern. Could you please guide me to get Regex pattern for this string.

why not simply var items = 'North-6544789-Input.csv'.split("-") and item[0] is North and item[1] is 6544789 — gurvinder372

Are there more such example with some complex pattern? If not, then the comment above has a simple answer for you. — AKS

Please don't use regex for simple strings like what you have, unless you are obliged to use it. — ismnoiet

Do:

^([^-]+)-([^-]+)-.*

\1 is North, \2 is 6544789.

Simply try

var items = 'North-6544789-Input.csv'.split("-");

alert( "first item - " + items[0] ); 

alert( "second item - " + items[1] );
