First of all, here is my code snippet:
var str = '<!--:de-->some german text<!--:--><!--:en-->some english text<!--:-->';
var match = str.match(/de-->([^<]+).+?en[^>]+>([^<]+)/i);
var textInDe = match[1];
var textInEn = match[2];
I've got this regex validation (thanks to The Mask) which works great.
Now, I want to check with an if-statement if this regex applies to some string or not. I'm using Javascript jquery.
Thanks in advance :)
You can use RegExp.test
if(/de-->([^<]+).+?en[^>]+>([^<]+)/i.test(str)) {
// something
}
== true in an if statement, literally ever. Maybe === true, but definitely not the othervar str = '<!--:de-->some german text<!--:--><!--:en-->some english text<!--:-->';
var match = str.match(/de-->([^<]+).+?en[^>]+>([^<]+)/i);
if(match.length > 0){
//successful match
}
OR
var re = new RegExp('regex string');
if (somestring.match(re)) {
//successful match
}
match is null meaning you can't do match.length. If you change the if statement if (match){... then it will work.How about this?
function IsMatch(v) {
//basically build your regex here
var exp = new RegExp("^de-->([^<]+).+?en[^>]+>([^<]+)$"); return exp.test(v);
}
To call it:
if(IsMatch('Your string')) alert('Found'); else alert('Not Found');
