How to pull out the text written between symbols for each line from textarea?
How to pull out the text written between (any) symbols for each line from textarea using javascript.
I was thinking to use split() but didn't use it before enough. It needs to be specific enought to create array.
Example of textarea:
Mike Smith June 22 (happy)
Liza Gray May 01 (sad)
Peter Dec (lucky)
Result:
Array (happy,sad,lucky)
It's easier for me to do it excel but I need it to be done with javascript.
Hope you have a simple solution, Thanks.

Rainer,
Simply setting the global flag you will end up with the parenthesis included in the results. see jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/em1mq9b5/
You need the call back function to extract the group (ie, no parenthesis). See above solution:

or any other solution that loops over the resulting arrays:
