Repeated return of the returned group without capture

Question

I had a strange problem that I can’t get around ... In principle, I have this Regex that returns material that I don’t have in the capture group, and it does not return the actual captured group. Here is the regex:

"localhost/a/b/c".match(/\/a\/b\/(.*?)/g);

As far as I know, it is supposed to return ["c"]... But it returns:

["/a/b/"]

What am I doing wrong? I thought that the captured groups should have been returned, not ignored.

Try: "localhost / a / b / c" .match (// a / b / (. +) /) [1]

In the original regular expression "localhost/a/b/c".match(/\/a\/b\/(.*?)/g);

• . means any character
• * , 0 -
• ? , ,
• , , g, , .
• , [0] - , [1] - ..

$('#myDiv').append( "localhost/a/b/c".match(/\/a\/b\/(.+)/)[1] );
