indexOf and slash

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 07.2017

I’m trying to find the index of a slash plus “v.” I’m using:
if (file_list[x].indexOf(“v.”)>-1)
but it’s not working. If I take out the it works but finds ALL instances of “v.” This is in a node.js script.

Any ideas why this wouldn’t work?

Thanks.

@rootMar 07.2017 — If you are using Node.js, then you are in the wrong forum, you need the JavScript Frameworks forum.

The problem you may be having is that v is the match for a vertical tab character.

@SempervivumMar 07.2017 — [CODE]"\v."[/CODE]is a simple string, not a regexp. No processing of special characters. You need to omit the first "":
[CODE]"v."[/CODE]

Success!
