You need to use a capture group () to extract the urls, and if you're wanting to match globally g, i.e. more than once, when using capture groups, you need to use exec in a loop (match ignores capture groups when matching globally).

For example

var m,
    urls = [], 
    str = '',
    rex = /]+src="?([^"\s]+)"?\s*\/>/g;

while ( m = rex.exec( str ) ) {
    urls.push( m[1] );
}

console.log( urls ); 
// [ "http://site.org/one.jpg", "http://site.org/two.jpg" ]
