Both JS and AS3 implement RegEx as defined in the ECMAScript edition 3 language specification (ECMA-262).
Although I may not have any trouble converting the regular expressions themselves, in javascript I see the string.replace() function used.
AS3 only has exec() and test(), are they equivalent to replace()?
String.replace(), as you’d expect.
It’s a member of the String object, just like in JavaScript.
exec()andtest()are members of the RegExp object, just like in JavaScript.
