regular expression query

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi all,

I’m trying to formulate a regular expression which can ask

[code=html]
if (the 30th character in the string is ‘.’) {
do xyz}
[/code]

It’s for a programme in which the user will send one of several of replies, only one of which I want to make the programme “do xyz”.

Many thanks,

futureboy

I'm trying to build a simple line of coding which says "when the 30th character is '.' add one to the score." I'm having trouble getting the score to return in an alert, perhaps becaues there is no "else" clause following the "if."

So far I've got this,

[code=html]function yourscore() {
var score = 0

if(document.survey.one.value[i].charAt(29)=='.') {
score++}

alert(score)
}
[/code]

Any ideas?
