Hi

I am trying to write a regular expression in javascript but I am having a hard time getting it to work. 

I am returning data from my c# server that comes back like this:

ggga,12&4,4&ggg,234&

 Now there are 2 fileds the name field and the repetitions. each fold these fields is seperated by the comma. Each group is then seperated by the & symbol.

So the results should be

 ggga,12

4,4

 ggg,234

Then later I want to seperate it further since I will then need each indivdual field(maybe use capturing parenthesis? So I would have one to capture the names and one to capture the repetitions).

 Now I written some regular expression in C# so I used a program called "expresso" but it is more for the .net framework. In it I wrote this

([a-z0-9]+),([0-9]+)

My results

ggga,12
4,4
ggg,234

Exactly what I wanted.

 But in Javascript I get a different story. I used the same expression and got:

ggga,12
ggga
12

Not what I wanted. So what am I doing wrong?

 Thanks

Here is my javascript code:

var strip = /([a-z0-9]+),([0-9]+)/i;

  var result = strip.exec(response);

 where response contains(ggga,12&4,4&ggg,234&).

 

 

Add the global option to your regex to return all the matches instead of the first one
