How to extract Full anchor tag from var in javascript?

Question

var LinkString="Google Link Is:<a href='www.Google.com' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:none; color:#000000;'>URL</a>";

I want to extract full anchor tag from LinkString.

Answer 1

try this

    var LinkString="Google Link Is:<a href='www.Google.com' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:none; color:#000000;'>URL</a>";
    var output = LinkString.split(/(?=<a)/)[1];
    alert(output);

Or

var LinkString="Google Link Is:<a href='www.Google.com' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:none; color:#000000;'>URL</a>";
alert(LinkString.match(/(?=<a)[\w\W]+a>/));

Or if you are sure that there will always be only one anchor tag in this string then simply

    var LinkString="Google Link Is:<a href='www.Google.com' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:none; color:#000000;'>URL</a>";
    var output = LinkString.substring( LinkString.indexOf("<a"),  LinkString.indexOf("</a>")+4);
    alert(output);

Answer 2

Try this it will work :

Split the LinkString using javascript split() function. It return you an array of values seperated by :.

var LinkString="Google Link Is:<a href='www.Google.com' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:none; color:#000000;'>URL</a>";
    var output = LinkString.split(':');
    console.log(output[1] + output[2] + output[3]);
