javascript - node.js regex splitting a string to send to another server -

i'm trying split type of string in node.js send information 1 server another. i'm having trouble getting regular expression work considering kind of stink @ regular expressions in node.js or language @ moment. i'm trying make easier on myself without having bunch of strings replace or split array. so, here's string:

?name!identity@url.url 

is possible name string without .replace() , .split()?

using matching groups:

var mystring = "?name!identity@url.url";  var myregexp = /\?(.*?)\!.+?/g;  var match = myregexp.exec(mystring);    if(match)  {    alert(match[1]);  // name  }  else  {    alert("no match");  }
