Node.js: Regular Expression To Delete Entire Line

How do I match the entire line starting with MTA: ?

If I use:

console.log(result[2].split("Reporting-MTA:"))

I will still get the rest of the line, I want to match the entire line starting with MTA:

Thanks

Edit:

I want to match the line so I can rea开发者_如何学JAVAd the lines BEFORE and AFTER that entire line. Now, I can only read the lines before and after the string "Reporting-MTA:"

                console.log(r[1]);
               ^
TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null

With this code:

console.log(result[2]);
        var r = result[2].match(/(.*)\r\nReporting-MTA\r\n(.*)/)
        console.log(r[1]);

If your input is from a text file then you need to look for the line breaks, so something like this...

It aint pretty but..

Test:

Code:

var re = new RegExp(/((?:[\n\r]|.)*)(Reporting-MTA.*)((?:[\n\r]|.)*)/);
var arrMatches = strText.match(re);

Result:

arrMatches [1]   // Lines before a line Reporting-MTA:..$
arrMatches [2]   // Line started from Reporting-MTA:
arrMatches [3]   // Other lines after a line started from Reporting-MTA:

You can use match to do regular expression match and return an array of results to matches. This regex matches a pattern that starts (^) with MTA: and is followed by anything (.) zero or more times (*)...

var matches = result[2].match(/^MTA:.*/)
console.log(matches[0])

to capture groups within the match you can use brackets...

var matches = result[2].match(/^(MTA:)(.*)/)
console.log(matches[0]) // whole matched string
console.log(matches[1]) // first bracketed group - 'MTA:' in this case
console.log(matches[2]) // second bracketed group - the rest of the string in this case

Maybe it is easier to replace the line(s) you don't want

var replaced = result[2].replace(/.*Reporting-MTA:.*/gm,'')
console.log(replaced)
