下面是一个正则表达式，它将抓取奶牛和牛奶之间的内容(没有前导/尾随空格):

srctext = "My cow always gives milk.";
var re = /(.*cow\s+)(.*)(\s+milk.*)/;
var newtext = srctext.replace(re, "$2");

如果数据在多行上，那么您可能必须使用以下方法，

/My cow ([\s\S]*)milk/gm

My cow always gives 
milk

正则表达式101的例子

我发现正则表达式是乏味和耗时的语法。因为你已经在使用javascript，所以不使用regex更容易做到以下几点:

const text = 'My cow always gives milk'
const start = `cow`;
const end = `milk`;
const middleText = text.split(start)[1].split(end)[0]
console.log(middleText) // prints "always gives"

? ?= part)不消耗任何输入。这是一个零宽度断言(边界检查和后视也是如此)。

你需要一个常规的匹配，来消耗牛的部分。为了捕获中间的部分，你使用一个捕获组(只需将你想捕获的部分放在括号内):

cow(.*)milk

根本不需要观察头。

可以使用match()方法在两个字符串之间提取子字符串。试试下面的代码:

var str = "My cow always gives milk";
var subStr = str.match("cow(.*)milk");
console.log(subStr[1]);

输出:

总是给

解决方案

let allText = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum";
let textBefore = "five centuries,";
let textAfter = "electronic typesetting";
var regExp = new RegExp(`(?<=${textBefore}\\s)(.+?)(?=\\s+${textAfter})`, "g");
var results = regExp.exec(allText);
if (results && results.length > 1) {
    console.log(results[0]);
}
