test,match,exec

JavaScript中经常用到正则表达式, 而正则表达式中经常用到Match和Test这两个函数,当然还有Exec. 这里以代码实例来区分它们之间的不同吧.

Match Example

var str = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
var regexp = /[A-E]/gi;

var rs = str.match(regexp);

//rs= Array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e');

Test Example

var str = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
var regexp = /[A-E]/gi;

var rs = regexp.test(str);

// rs = true; boolean

Exc Example

var str = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
var regexp = /[A-E]/gi;
var rs;
while ((rs = regexp.exec(str)) != null)
{
    document.write(rs);
    document.write(regexp.lastIndex);
    document.write("<br />");
}

OUTPUT
---------------------------------
A    1
B   2
C   3
D   4
E   5
a   27
b   28
c   29
d   30
e   31

Another   Exc Example

var regexp = /ab*/g;
var str = "abbcdefabh";
var rs;
while ((rs = regexp.exec(str)) != null)
{
    document.write(rs);
    document.write(regexp.lastIndex);
    document.write("<br />");
}

OUTPUT
---------------------------------
