Can someone explain to me how is this possible?
When I define global attribute for RegExp pattern, regexp’s test method after each [I]true[I]false[I]true
Here’s sample code:
[code]
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title> Untitled </title>
<meta charset=”utf-8″>
<script>
var myarray = [“xxx”,”xxx”,”xxx”,”xxx”];
var re = new RegExp(“xxx”);
var re2 = new RegExp(“xxx”,”g”);
for (i = 0; i < myarray.length; i++)
{
alert(re.test(myarray[i])); //this one returns ture for each array’s element as expected
}
for (i = 0; i < myarray.length; i++)
{
alert(re2.test(myarray[i])); //this one returns false for every second element
}
var s = “xxx”;
alert(re2.test(s)); //returns true
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Thanks in advance!
