Extract all regex matches with their groups.

JavaScript: matchAll requires a global regular expression and returns an iterator of matches.

JavaScript snippet.js
for (const match of "x=12 y=7".matchAll(/([a-z])=(\d+)/g)) console.log(`${match[1]}:${match[2]}`);

Expected output EXAMPLE

x:12
y:7

Details

Save as snippet.js and run node snippet.js. Uses built-in Node.js and JavaScript APIs. matchAll requires a global regular expression and returns an iterator of matches.

Test inputs, results and environment

The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
