Re: reg expression

Show all headers | View raw

Thank you guys for all your input.
I end up looping thru all the words(actually I am not looking for words, I 
am searching an array of string as someone is typing).

I am not that eager to delve into the crazy synax of RE, so looping is 
easier. I suppose I can use string.contains ?.

I am using MS visual studio to do some web pages. JScript is all I use, but 
it provides me with very little intellsense, What's up with that. What tools 
do you guys use that give you hints ? I hate to google or bother you guys 
with stupid questions
