copied!<p>In your code you have</p> <pre><code>var regexp = new RegExp("/DTSTART:(.*?)\s/", "g"); </code></pre> <p>but the regular expression delimiter <code>/</code> is not required when passing a string to the <code>RegExp</code> constructor - it will be interpreted as a character to be matched. Also, as its a string any special RegExp characters need to be double escaped, so <code>\s</code> should be <code>\\s</code>. </p> <p>Here is one way of getting the values for each specified tag: </p> <pre><code>var match, matches = [], tags = 'DTSTART|DTEND|DTSTAMP|UID|CREATED|DESCRIPTION|' + 'LAST-MODIFIED|LOCATION|STATUS|SUMMARY|TRANSP', regexp = new RegExp( '(?:' + tags + '):([\\s\\S]*?)(?=\\s+(?:' + tags + '|SEQUENCE|END):)', 'g' ); while ( match = regexp.exec( file_content ) ) { matches.push( match[1] ); } </code></pre> <p>If you want to retrieve each tag:value pair, change <code>match[1]</code> to <code>match[0]</code>. </p> <p>The above assumes that there is at least one space or newline character before each tag.<br> It also assumes that a space followed by a tag name followed by a <code>:</code> does not appear in any tag's value. </p> <p><code>[\\s\\S]</code> is used instead of <code>.</code> so that newline characters can be included in a tag's value.</p> <p>The above does not capture the value of the <code>SEQUENCE</code> tag as it was not specified in the list.<br> If you want to capture it, just add it to <code>tags</code> and remove it from <code>regexp</code> so <code>'|SEQUENCE|END):)'</code> becomes <code>'|END):)'</code>.</p> <p>Alternatively:</p> <pre><code>var m, params = {}, rex = /([A-Z-]+):([\s\S]*?)(?=\s+[A-Z-]+:|$)/g; while ( m = rex.exec( file_content ) ) { params[ m[1] ] = m[2]; } console.log( params["DTSTART"] ); // 20121127T190000Z </code></pre>
