afrojojo Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hello masters of the regex. I would like your help. I need an expression that would extract the version out of this string. Everything between the last "-" and ".". INPUT: database_name-10182011946-v1.0.2.sql OUTPUT: v1.0.2 Any ideas?

joe92 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Will every file end as .sql? And will every version number start as v? If so something like: /(v\d\.\d\.\d)(?=\.sql)/ The \d stands for any digit between 0 and 9. The second set of brackets is to make sure it ends with .sql.
