Can't seem to figure out how to use regex

[CharlieTango 3]

I need to extract the session_token from the following line of code, but am having difficulties. I thought I may have to "escape" the .'s but, that doesn't seem to work

 

www.comments.watch5.remove('session_token=OrZ8s3puVKXbmSQINJQP4aZ3mw98MEAxMzIwNzQ0NTg3')

 

Thanks for any help.

Thanks. Doesn't seem to be working yet. Here's a pic of my code.

That works if we're just extracting from the one line of code, as you are with #test, but the thing is, there are several lines of code that match that criteria in the $document text.

 

I need to identify this particular session token based on the "www.comments.watch5.remove" part that precedes it.

www.*\.

match = www.comments.watch5.

 

www.*\)

match = www.comments.watch5.remove('session_token=OrZ8s3puVKXbmSQINJQP4aZ3mw98MEAxMzIwNzQ0NTg3')

 

(?<=www.comments.watch5.remove)\(.*\)

match = ('session_token=OrZ8s3puVKXbmSQINJQP4aZ3mw98MEAxMzIwNzQ0NTg3')

yt.www.comments.watch5.remove\(('session_token=[a-zA-Z0-9]+')\)

 

Figured out what I was doing wrong. Turns out I wasn't "escaping" the brackets and needed to. Cheers for the help!

For those who find Regex to difficult and too time consuming for simple things like this. Try this

 

set(#var, "www.comments.watch5.remove('session_token=OrZ8s3puVKXbmSQINJQP4aZ3mw98MEAxMzIwNzQ0NTg3')", "Global")

set(#var, $replace($replace(#var, "www.comments.watch5.remove(\'session_token=", ""), "\')", $nothing), "Global")
