How to get transform values using regular expressions?
How to get the transform values using regular expression. I have tried but it's not working for all the scenarios:
var transform = "translate(97.4 12)";
var split = /translate(s*([^s,)]+)[ ,]([^s,)]+)/.exec(transform);
/*
it given following output,
split[1] = 97.4;
split[2] = 12;
*/
But this regular expression not working for following cases:
"translate(97.4, 12)";
"translate(97.4)";
"translate(97.4,12)";
How to get those scenario also using generic way?
Given there is an API that will get you the values this is like asking for a hammer to knock in a screw.

Try this:
translate((-?d+.?d*),?s*(-?d+[.]?d*)?)
From regex101.com the explanation of the regex is as follows
not working in this scenario, "translate(97.4)" it shows 97. and 4

You are correct! I updated the regex so that the second term is conditional (added a
? to the second capturing group)– seebiscuit

while giving - value also not working? "translate(13.16976047699518, -5.699114753939966)"

try this:
var transform = 'translate(97.4, 12)';
var reg = new RegExp(/translate(s*([0-9.,s)]+))/g);
var value = htmlData.replace(reg, function (a, b, c)
return b;
);
value.split(','); //return value is: [97.4, 12]
