VbsEdit is a VBScript and Javascript editor


stringObj.search(rgExp)

stringObj: Required. The String object or string literal on which to perform the search.

rgExp: Required. An instance of a Regular Expression object containing the regular expression pattern and applicable flags.

The search method indicates if a match is present or not. If a match is found, the search method returns an integer value that indicates the offset from the beginning of the string where the match occurred. If no match is found, it returns -1.

The following example illustrates the use of the search method.

	Copy Code
function SearchDemo(){ var r, re; //Declare variables. var s = "The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain."; re = /falls/i; //Create regular expression pattern. r = s.search(re); //Search the string. return(r); //Return the Boolean result. }

Copy Code

function SearchDemo(){
   var r, re;                   //Declare variables.
   var s = "The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain.";
   re = /falls/i;            //Create regular expression pattern.
   r = s.search(re);            //Search the string.
   return(r);                   //Return the Boolean result.
}
