Question

can some one give me the Regular Expression that can check if a given string has any HTML code in it, and coming to think of it I would be bothered with <a href="something">something</a> exactly.

Answer 1

Should be something like this

var pattern:RegExp = /<a\s.*?<\/a>/;
var index = str.search(pattern);
if (index != -1) // we have a match
