I'm looking for an regex that returns everything after pid- in this example URL.
URL:
www.example.com/bla-pid-123456
Expected match:
123456

Answer 1

Using PCRE-Compatible Grep
$ echo 'www.example.com/bla-pid-123456' | pcregrep -o 'pid-\K\d+'
123456

Answer 2

>>> import re
>>> pat = re.compile('pid-(\d+)$')
>>> m = pat.search('www.example.com/bla-pid-123456')
>>> m.groups()[0]
'123456'

Answer 3

you could do it like this: (in swift because i don't know which language you use):
func findStringAfterFirstOccurenceOfString(stringToFind: NSString, inString stringToSearch: NSString) -> NSString?
for (var i = 0, i <= stringToSearch.length - stringToFind.length; i++) {
let range = NSMakeRange(i, stringToFind.length)
let sub = stringToSearch.substringWithRange(range)
if sub == stringToFind {
return stringToSearch.substringFromIndex(i + stringToFind.length)
}
}
return nil // No occurrence found
}
stringToFind would be "pid-" in this case.

Answer 4

try this
var result = 'www.example.com/bla-pid-123456'.match(/.*pid-(\d+)/);
result = (result) ? result[1] : "";

Answer 5

Since I don't know if you can acccept alpha and/or numberic after the PID, I have this. mileage may vary.
in javascript
just for alphanumberic:
var str = "www.example.com/bla-pid-123456",
re = /pid[-](\w+)$/ ,
val = str.match(re) ? str.match(re)[1] : null;
note: I explicitly capture ONLY if its "pid-.....", otherwise I assign null to "val". This is a bit more what you might need, but since I do not know your intent, and the url can have 'gig-asdfasdf', or 'whatever-whater'... I want something explicit.
