regexp problems/JS question

zipb's icon

I'm having consistent crashes with Max' built-in regexp object. I'm
now trying to use JS regular expressions.
I get an error when I try to use the standard JS function search, as
described in the CoreGuideJS15 pages:

function rxp(arg)
{
    re = /ra/;

    bla = re.search(arg);
    post(bla);
}

I get an JavaScript type error: search is not a function. re.test
(arg) works fine?!

What am I missing? Am I using an outdated JS version?

Best,

Nogmaals dank, Mattijs. Looks a bit messy but very useful.

Best,
