REGEX_GROUP_MATCH

The REGEX_GROUP_MATCH function is used to match a regular expression pattern against a string content and retrieve a specific declared group.

Usable: Value Fields, Context Filter

Syntax: { REGEX_GROUP_MATCH((PARAM_1 PARAM_2 PARAM_3)) }

Parameter	Type	Examples	Description
PARAM_1	JSONPath value	`$.issue.fields.customfield_X` `$.value`	The JSONPath expression representing the value that should be matched against the regular expression pattern.
PARAM_2	String	`'$(\S*)$'`	The regular expression pattern to match against the value in PARAM_1
PARAM_3	String	`'1'` `'2'`	The matching group that should be used

Value Field Example

Get the value of the second group match

CODE

{ REGEX_GROUP_MATCH(($.value '^([^\s]*)' '2')) }

If $.value contains 'the name (7) (test)' the result will be test.

To filter results where the “id” equals the custom field value of the issue at the first quotes:

CODE

{ REGEX_GROUP_MATCH(($.issue.fields.customfield_X '\((\S*)\)' '1')) }

If the $.issue.fields.customfield__X field contains 'the name (7) (test)' the expression will resolve to:

CODE

$.result[?(@.id=='7')]
