Split a pipe delimited key-value pair separated by '=' symbol

Question

We are receiving an input parameter value as a pipe-delimited key-value pair, separated with = symbols. For example:

\"|User=0101|Name=ImNewUse         


        

Answer 1

I would just use regular expressions to group (see here) each KEY=VALUE pair and then iterate over them to fill up the JSON object. So you could have something like this:

var re = /(([^=\|]+)=([^=\|]+))/g;
var match;
var myString = "|User=0101|Name=ImNewUser|IsAdmin=0|RefId=23ae2123cd223bf235|";
while (match = re.exec(myString)) {
    console.log(match);
    // first iteration returns ["User=0101","User=0101","User","0101"] and so on
}
