regular expression in formapi

Hi,

you can use regular expressions in JavaScript:

var zeichen = "...my text ...";
var x = /(.*)\s{2,20}(\w+)\s{2,20)/;
x.exec(zeichen);

var name = RegExp.$1;
var text = RegExp.$2;


Ciao,
Jens

The regex before doesn't make sense for zeichen=... my text .., it's only an example for using regex in Javascript:

here is a working one

var zeichen = "my regextext";
var x = /(.*)\s+(.*)/;
x.exec(zeichen);
var name = RegExp.$1;
var text = RegExp.$2;

where name = my and text = regextext

the same in perl is:
$zeichen = "my regextext";
$zeichen =~ /(.*)\s+(.*)/;
$name = $1;
$text = $2;

there isn't a manual for regex in formapi.
it's a javascript functionality.
I am sure you can find some docs in www
I have only some german sites like selfhtml.teamone.de
