Regular expression problem

[jimfog]

Here is the code i am using to search for digits in a selection in a page:function John (){ if(window.getSelection){ var range = window.getSelection (); var re=/\d/g; var match=re.exec(range); alert(match); }};John();From what i know the above code will find ALL occurrences/digits(that is why i use the global modifier),Nonetheless the problem is that it finds only the first occurrence of a digit andi cannot figure out why.Any suggestions?

The exec function returns only the first match. What you need is the match function of the string object:var match = range.match(re);

Your code worked, thanks.

I have another problem now though.Take a look at this code segment:var re=/\d[1-9]\d/g;It suppose to select any digit between 01-99.Nonetheless, sometimes, it does not.In some cases it works, in other it does not.Why?I am curious.

Actually, that will only select numbers with three digits where the middle digit is not 0.

Try this:var re = /\d{2}/g;
