RegExp Problem

[Martin Nadoll]

Hi,

i want tofind out, whether the string: <!-- Flash --> is found in my string.
i tried:
var iz='anything here, than <!-- Flash --> and than anything here';
cflash = iz.match(/-- Flash --/g);
if (cflash) {
alert('found');
}

but it is not found :-(

Thanks for any help on that,
Martin Nadoll

i tried:
var iz='anything here, than <!-- Flash --> and than anything here';

then, not than

cflash = iz.match(/-- Flash --/g);
if (cflash) {
alert('found');
}

but it is not found :-(

if(iz.indexOf("<!-- Flash -->")>-1){
alert('found');
}

You forgot to declare `cflash', and you should use /.../.test(iz) instead.
In any case, WFM in Firefox/Iceweasel 3.0.6 and Internet Explorer 6.0.
However, you might be running into a peculiarity of the used script engine
(which one?) that regards <!-- ... --> as multi-line comment. Displaying
the value of `iz' would clarify that.

If it is regarded as a comment, you should be able to work around that using
`<\!-- ... -->' and the like.

Yes it is : the alert fires.



var iz='something here, then <!-- Flash --> and then something here';
cflash = iz.match(/-- Flash --/g);
if (cflash) {
alert('found');
iz = iz.replace (/-- Flash --/g, '-- --')
alert('next : '+
(iz.match(/-- Flash --/)?'found':'not found')+
'\niz = '+iz);
}
