javascript - JS regex exclude matches inside quotes -


this code:

var value = 'one.two[0]["three.four"]'; console.log(value.split(/(?:\.)|(?=\[")/)); 

produces following array:

0: 1 1: two[0] 2: ["three 3: four"] 

how can modify exclude dots inside quotes? i'd output:

0: 1 1: two[0] 2: ["three.four"] 

you can add negative lookahead after . add "exclude dots inside quotes" logic. ignore opening quote , lookahead see if we're inside quoted string. (which we're assuming here not contain weirdness escaped quotes \")

var value = 'one.two[0]["three.four.five"]'; console.log(value.split(/\.(?![\w.]*")|(?=\[")/));
