The following is a code to recognize time formats such as this: 2:59 a.m. EDTfunction John (){ var range = window.getSelection().toString(); var hourformat=/(\d\d|\d)[:]\d\d\s([A][M]|[a][m]|[a][.][m])/g; var match = range.match(hourformat); if(range==match){alert("You chose(match)");} else{alert("You did not choose a time");}}; JJohn(); The regular expression works fines, what does not work fine is the alert box message .After the user has selected a time, i want an alert message to appear saying:"You chose(time selected goes here)"How am i going to achieve that?The syntax used-as can be seen above-is:{alert("You chose(match)");} It does not workAny suggestions?Summing it up, i want to combine in an alert message both a string and a variable()match.

"It does not work" is a little vague, but I am assuming it means that the alert shows "You chose (match)" instead of, say "You chose (2:59 a.m. EDT)", correct?You need to take the variable out of the string, like:alert("You chose("+match+")");

Yes, correct.I will choose your version of the code and tell you if it works.Probably it will work. I tested various code combinations but not yours.
