Hi,
Code: Select all
var testString = 'I\'m a String!';
var testVar = 'String';
var matches = testString.match(/I\'m a +testVar+/);
My question lies above... How can I get a JavaScript variable into a pattern?
Thanks

use the regexp objects.
Code: Select all
new RegExp( 'pattern', 'modifers' );
if I remember correctly.

Ahhhh.... RegExp objects eh

I've never bother with them before, but it looks good to me.
Cheers

Works a treat. Bit of a pain having to add all the backslashes to make it work though
