How to match the first word after an expression in a string using RegEx with Node.js

Answer 1

const text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
const expression = "brown"; // The expression to match before the word

// Regex to find the first word after the expression
const regex = new RegExp(`${expression}\\s+(\\w+)`); 

const match = text.match(regex);

if (match) {
  console.log("First word after " + expression + ":", match[1]);
} else {
  console.log(expression + "not found or no word after it.");
}


    
/*
run:
    
First word after brown: fox
    
*/
