Question

I have a String:

"{key1:value1}{key2:value2}".

I want to split these string using regular expression as:

"key1:value1","key2:value2" .

Finally i got expression like val.split(/{(.*?)}/);

Surprisingly, this expression is not working in IE7.
Just curious to know why the browser compatibility for Regular expression. And, do we have any alternate regular expression for fixing in IE7.

Answer 1

I would do it this way:

"{key1:value1}{key2:value2}".replace(/^{|}$/g, '').split('}{')

And it gives you ["key1:value1", "key2:value2"] array.
