Try using a positive lookahead assertion:
while ( /a(?=a)/g){}
Let me know if it works. ;-)

Subject: global matching
I have a rather simple question, but I can't figure it out!
For example if I have a string like "aaaa" and I want to match every "aa" in
there, how should I do this?
So I want a match on position 0-1,1-2,2-3.
If I use if(/aa/g){} statement, it only finds one, and if I use
while(/aa/g){} then it only finds 2 ! How can I find all of them, even if
there are more a's?
Who can help me out?

Thanks,
Bram.
