Question

I’m trying to match a string with a variable, this variable comes from a text field

What I got:

if( v[1].match(/Piet/i) ){
    console.log( v );
}

This works, but now i have to add my val in it.
I have search around and found this topic:

• How to use variables inside Regular Expression in Javascript

now I trying what they say in the topic:

if( v[1].match("\\(" + val + ")\\i") ){
    console.log( v );
}

Now i don’t get any results.

Answer 1

This should work :

if( v[1].match(new RegExp(val, 'i'))) {
    console.log( v );
}​
