I’m working with both Arrays and RegEx in Javascript. I’m trying to use the regex.test() function but can’t find it in the JS Lib string functions. The following are the functions referenced in the JavaScript Regex area. Does Servoy only support a subset of the full Javascript?
Table 4.2 Methods that use regular expressions
exec = A RegExp method that executes a search for a match in a string. It returns an array of information.
test = A RegExp method that tests for a match in a string. It returns true or false.
match = A String method that executes a search for a match in a string. It returns an array of information or null on a mismatch.
search = A String method that tests for a match in a string. It returns the index of the match, or -1 if the search fails.
replace = A String method that executes a search for a match in a string, and replaces the matched substring with a replacement substring.
split = A String method that uses a regular expression or a fixed string to break a string into an array of substrings.
Also, I’m trying to make a comparison of a value in a global to some values from a column. What is the best way to do this. With the values in an array or using regex and looking within a string.
For example, testing for a value in a global finds a match within a column of values.
