non-capture group still showing in match

Question

I know this topic has been thoroughly covered on StackOverflow, but I can\'t for the life of me get my regular expression to work. So without further repetitive ado ...

Answer 1

A non-capturing group is basically just a non-group ― a way to use parentheses without actually treating that part of the pattern as a group.

It looks like what you're actually looking for are the "match prefix but exclude" group (?<=) and the "match suffix but exclude" group (?=).

Note: This type of group does not seem to be supported in Internet Explorer.

If you use these, you get the desired result:

var str = "
";
var regex = /(?<=model=')[^']*(?=')/g
var matches = str.match(regex);

console.log(matches);
