Did you test it before posting?

This one matches " Vice", too.

I've tried your regex on regextester.com - It says: "ERROR: Lookbehind [i.e. "(?<="] is not supported in Javascript"

The reason of "return" is in the way I use the function:
form
...
input type="hidden" name="token" value="?=generateToken()?"
...
/form

It doesn't work:
console.log(formattedDate); // => NaN-NaN-NaN
It works perfectly with "2 April 2023":
console.log(formattedDate); // => 02-04-2023
But I need to use French months.

MySQL version allows "ORDER BY 4": it works. But in my case, implementing your second query, I need to use "ORDER BY DateTime DESC, Expiration ASC".

Thank you very much for your answer. I'm new to MySQL and I need to learn a lot about it (even if I don't use it very often in my apps).
Just an elucidation: implementing your second query (without UNION), how can I set "ORDER BY DateTime DESC" when Category is not "C4", and "ORDER BY Expiration ASC" when Category is "C4"?
P.S.: I don't use reserved words for column names, they're not in english actually.

I've tried this:

(SELECT
Url, Ref, Text, DateTime AS DATE, 'C1' AS Source
FROM Tbl
WHERE Category = 'C1')

UNION

(SELECT
Url, Ref, Text, DateTime AS DATE, 'C2' AS Source
FROM Tbl
WHERE Category = 'C2')

UNION

(SELECT
Url, Ref, Text, DateTime AS DATE, 'C3' AS Source
FROM Tbl
WHERE Category = 'C3')

ORDER BY DATE DESC

UNION

(SELECT
Url, Ref, Text, Expiration AS DATE, 'C4' AS Source
FROM Tbl
WHERE Category = 'C4' AND Expiration >= CURDATE()
ORDER BY DATE ASC)

But it doesn't work. How would you rewrite the query?

I don't need to know the position of month inside string (that's simple to find). I need to know the position of matched month inside regular expression (in my example, month is "March", so its position in regex is 2).

Are you sure your answer is relevant to my question? That index property is the matched month position inside string, not inside regex (that I need to know).

Nice solution! Just a question: why "replaceAll", instead of "replace"? It works the same.

Your regex (<span([^>]*)>) doesn't match the closing tag of span.

Your solution is just like the one I've already adopted in my script. I'm rewriting it, getting rid of the months' array and of all that depends on it (split, indexOf, template literals), without any external libraries; just vanilla JS. That's my task - and that's the reason of my question here.

Have you noticed the button above that says "Accept Solution" (not "Accept Lesson")?
I'm here to solve a specific problem, and I've "googled" a lot before asking my question.
I don't need a teacher.
Don't feel like you have to answer.

Maybe my question is not clear (I'm new to JS dates).
I'm writing my own script, and - as I wrote - I need to get day (number), month (number) and year from a date using month's French name, in order to manipulate them in a specific way.
The input is always a date where the month is written in French (instead of English) language.
I don't need to detect current language/culture. The first link you've mentioned (I already knew it) doesn't give me any hint to solve the problem.

That's the issue: how to set the Locale in order to use months' names in French language?

I read what you wrote, and I thank you for your useful suggestion. But before deciding what to do, I would like to find other, less "radical", solutions. That's the reason of my question.

Thanks for your suggestion. Is it possible to do something like this?

node.innerHTML = node.innerHTML.replace(/[^(]code (civil|pénal|de procédure civile|de procédure pénale)[^)]/g, m = (m.trim()) => `${m}`);

I've tried it, but it doesn't work.

Thanks!

Your RE - as well as mine - matches the spaces before and after "code civil" (i.e.: " code civil "). I need not to match those spaces.
