javascript string exec strange behavior
- by Michael
have funciton in my object which is called regularly.
parse : function(html)
{
var regexp = /...some pattern.../
var match = regexp.exec(html);
while (match != null)
{
...
match = regexp.exec(html);
}
...
var r = /...pattern.../g;
var m = r.exec(html);
}
with unchanged html the m returns null each other call. let's say
parse(html);// ok
parse(html);// m is null!!!
parse(html);// ok
parse(html);// m is null!!!
// ...and so on...
is there any index or somrthing that has to be reset on html ... I'm really confused. Why match always returns proper result?
