How do I map this out into an array of role ids?
#Help with regex's
sharp tinsel
I have this embed and I wanna match all of the roles and then get their role ids from it
I'm trying to use this but idk how to map or forEach it
const msg = await interaction.channel.messages.fetch('1112072615981494292').catch(() => {});
if(!msg) return;
const string = msg.embeds[0].description;
const m = string.matchAll(/<@&(?<id>\d{17,20})>/g);
m.forEach((my) => console.log(my))
I'm not too sure that's the correct usage of the global operator either so please do correct me 😅, I read somethings online and that looked correct
shell geyser
Well, what happens when you use that code?
shell geyser
Ah, yeah. m is an iterator. You need to for..of it or […m] spread it
sharp tinsel
Ah, ok. So iterator here means...?
rancid hazel
a thing used for iteration

Iterator
An Iterator object is an object that conforms to the iterator protocol by providing a next() method that returns an iterator result object. The Iterator.prototype object is a hidden global object that all built-in iterators inherit from. It provides a @@iterator method that returns the iterator object itself, making the iterator also iterable.

As I thought iterator means you could, well iiterate over it

(global flag btw not operator)

As I thought iterator means you could, well *iiterate* over it
you can
sharp tinsel
ahhhhhh
rancid hazel
forEach is an api specific to arrays
sharp tinsel
(global flag btw not operator)
Oh, what's the definition of it 😅
shell geyser
for..of is a form of iteration
sharp tinsel
`forEach` is an api specific to arrays
Ahhh, so not for object in an object
rancid hazel
Oh, what's the definition of it 😅
?
sharp tinsel
and the defintion of the gloal thingy?
rancid hazel
im just correcting you on the term there
sharp tinsel
yh so im asking for the correct term lol
rancid hazel
case __i__nsensitive
__m__ultiline
shell geyser
__u__nicode
rancid hazel
without multiline, ^ and $ match the start and end of the string
with multiline, they match the start and end of lines
\A and \Z match the start and end of the string regardless of the flag
rancid hazel
here are all the flags in js
sharp tinsel
Friends of mine always joked about how powerful regex's are but how much of a pain they are as well
But this is sick lmao
rancid hazel
`\A` and `\Z` match the start and end of the string regardless of the flag
correction: they would if they were available in js
sharp tinsel
Oh...
rancid hazel
😔
sharp tinsel
rip js lmao
