Re: regular expression

Hello,

you cannot use other than characters class in the: [], you can only put
inside them something like:
[a-z] or [aeiyo] or [a-zA-z0-9] etc...

hope this script helps:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
s = "Hallo <b>Welt</b>; Wie geht's?";
match = s.match(/<([^>]+)>.*?<\/\1>/i);
if (match)
alert('there is a tag');
else
alert('there is no tag!');
//-->
</script>

Hallo,

i have this Code in javascript:

//------------------------
starttag="<b>";
endtag="</b>";

str="Hier steht <b>ein Text, der Testzwecken</b> dient";

chosentext="Testzwecken";

pattern=starttag+'.*?[^'+endtag+']'+chosentext;
//hier Fehler??

t=str.search(pattern);

if (t!=-1){
alert("Offenes Starttag vor chosentext");
}else{
alert("KEIN offenes Starttag vor chosentext");
}
//------------------------

I want to find out, if there is a open start-htmltag in front of my
chosentext.
I think, the regular expression is wrong?
Hope somebody can help my.

Thank you.
