RegExp.rightContext ($') - JavaScript 编辑

Non-standard

This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

The non-standard rightContext property is a static and read-only property of regular expressions that contains the substring following the most recent match. RegExp.$' is an alias for this property.

Description

The rightContext property is static, it is not a property of an individual regular expression object. Instead, you always use it as RegExp.rightContext or RegExp["$'"].

The value of the rightContext property is read-only and modified whenever a successful match is made.

You can not use the shorthand alias with the dot property accessor (RegExp.$'), because the parser expects a starting string in that case and a SyntaxError is thrown. Use the bracket notation for property access.

Examples

Using rightContext and $'

var re = /hello/g;
re.test('hello world!');
RegExp.rightContext; // " world!"
RegExp["$'"];       // " world!"
