The string "symbol":"ZodiacsV2" does not match with "symbol":"zdcv2","name":"ZodiacsV2"

It works for me in Expresso: I get the whole string matched correctly, together with an anonymous group containing "zoo-coin" only.

The way I'd do it is to switch to a non-capturing prefix and suffix:

(?<="id":").*?(?=","symbol":"zdcv2")

"It doesn't work" is probably the most useless problem report we get - and we get it a lot. It tells us nothing about what is happening, or when it happens., or what code your used to try and make it happen.

So tell us what it is doing that you didn't expect, or not doing that you did.
Tell us what you did to get it to happen.
Tell us any error messages.
