Overview of Regular Expression Methods

A regular expression is an object instance of a character pattern that is associated with attributes that ECMAScript uses to perform a character pattern search of a string. A regular expression uses the following short format:

RegExp

For more information, see ECMAScript specifications.

The Siebel T eScript engine supports the following methods of the regular expression object. The Siebel ST eScript engine does not support these methods:

• RegExp.$n, including '$_' and '$&'
• RegExp.input
• RegExp.lastMatch
• RegExp.lastParen
• RegExp.leftContext
• RegExp.rightContext

If you must use ST eScript code, then instead of using one of these methods you must modify your script to use an equivalent function on the target object.
