My code is too greedy, how can it be fixed?
Here is my code:
Desired output - First:,Second:, Third:
<br>
<script type="text/javascript">
var regEx = /[^<>]*?:/g;
var html = "<br>First:rati o<br />Second: 2:3<br>Third: size";
var output = html.match(regE x);
document.write( output);
</script>
Thanks for your help.

So, in words, you want the parts between a ">" and the following ":".
<script type="text/javascript">
var regEx = />([^:]*:)/g;
var html = "<br>First:rati o<br />Second: 2:3<br>Third: size";
var output = [];
while (match = regEx.exec(html )) {
output.push(mat ch[1]);
}
document.write( output);
Good luck

Thanks, I tried several expressions, but it seems only a loop works.

Hello,
Please forgive if this is not the most appropriate newsgroup for this
question. Unfortunately I didn't find a newsgroup specific to regular
expressions.
I have the following regular expression.

I have a regular expression (^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 ) that results in
matches. I would like to get what the actual regular expression is.
In other words, when I apply ^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 to " HEART (CONDUCTION
DEFECT) 37.33/2 HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) WITH
CATHETER 37.34/2 " the expression is "HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT)". How
do I gain access to the expression (not the matches) at runtime?
Thanks,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
