[RESOLVED] Regex Help (location.search)

[code?]

Alright, I need help with some regular expressions. I'm trying to get all the GET parameters within javascript in one fell swoop, but can't. I'm wondering if you can help me with this.

//location.search = "?Name=Bob&Time=401&PM=0";
location.search.match(/([0-9a-zA-Z]+(\=)[0-9a-zA-Z]+)+/g)

Now, this is the result.

["Name=Bob", "Time=401", "PM=0"]

Is there a way to make the expression return something like this?

["Name", "Bob", "Time", "401", "PM", "0"]

I tried adding more parentheses but it's not working.

Why bother when you can create them into an associative array very simply?

Just for historical culture, here is my very old solution, working with or without substring:

function GetOneParam(name)
{
	var start=location.search.indexOf("?"+name+"=");
	if (start<0) start=location.search.indexOf("&"+name+"=");
	if (start<0) return '';
	start += name.length+2;
	var end=location.search.indexOf("&",start)-1;
	if (end<0) end=location.search.length;
//	var result=location.search.substring(start,end);
	var result='';
	for(var i=start;i<=end;i++) {
		var c=location.search.charAt(i);
		result=result+(c=='+'?' ':c);
	}
	return unescape(result);
}

function GetAllParam()
{
   var v_Name=GetOneParam("Name");
   var v_Time=GetOneParam("Time");
   var v_PM=GetOneParam("PM");
}

I had something like that.

It was this.

var arr = location.search.match(/([0-9a-zA-Z]+)=([0-9a-zA-Z]+)+/g).join().split(/[,=]/g);
var GET = {};
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i += 2)
{
    GET[arr[i]] = arr[i + 1];
}

Just wondering if there was a shorter way, but I think this will suffice.

<script type="text/javascript">
	
	//search = location.search 
	search = "?Name=Bob&Time=401&PM=0";
	a = search.replace('?', "").split(/[,(&|=)]/ig);
	document.write(a);

</script>

output [array]: Name,Bob,Time,401,PM,0

I've got it all figured out now, thanks!

I got it all down to one line.

var $_GET = eval("({" + location.search.substring(1).replace(/=/g, ":").replace(/&/g, ",").replace(/([0-9a-zA-Z]+):([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/g, "'$1':'$2'") + "})");

It could use some more improvement (replacing "=" and "&" all in one call), but it works just how I want it to.

Better yet, replace everything in one "replace" call.

Well, all I wanted was some way to get it down into one line, and I did.

Thanks for all your help.
