I'm trying to get the regular expression which matches text between two
underscores:
_MATCHTHIS_
The problem is, I don't want to match it if the only thing in between
the underscores are spaces or other underscores:
_ _ _
(this should get no match)
_hello world_
(this should match "hello world" even though there's a space because
there's also things besides a space and underscore)
Right now, I've got this:
/_([^_]+?)_/ which does well at excluding _
I've also tried this:
/_([^_\s]+?)_/ which does well if there are NO spaces between the _'s.
ie:
_hello_
(correctly matches "hello")
_hello world_
(does not match "hello world" as I would like)
_ _ _
(correctly does not match this)
I'm stumped. Any help?
