Question

I am using the below code to filter all the cookies stored using a regular expression.

 $.cookies.filter( '/^'+path+'/' ).each(function(a)
 {
        alert($.cookies.get(a));
 });

It seems the way I wrote regular expression is wrong. Please help on this.
I am using this library to deal with Cookies.

var myRegex = new RegExp('/^'+path+'/');
$.cookies.filter( myRegex ).each(function(a){
   alert($.cookies.get(a));
});

The syntax for regular expressions is either delimited by / (without any quotes) or as a string passed to RegExp class. I don’t know how to include variables if you define as / delimited regex, but without variables it would look like this…

$.cookies.filter( /^regex_pattern/ ).each( ... )
