Hey, heres where a perl coder like me could help you.
You would have to use a non-greedy quantifier.
However I believe IE's pathetic RegExp object doesnt support non-greedy
quantifiers like .*?
Thus you could use an alternative approach like shown below :
...
var contents = new String(" <script> bingo <\/script><script> tringo
<\/script> <script> Bye <\/script> GoodBye <body>Done!<\/body> "); //for
example
var scripts = contents.split(/(\s*<script>|<\/script>\s*)/);
alert(scripts[0]);
alert(scripts[1]);
alert(scripts[2]);
alert(scripts[3]);
...

Does anyone now how I can achieve the following:
I want to parse the contents of a file and extract the <script> tags.
I'm currently using the following code:
var scripts=/<script>\s*(.*)\s*<\/script>/i.exec(contents); // where
contents = file contents
If there is only one <script> tag everything works fine. If there are
two, the result is stuffed.
e.g..
var contents = "<script> alert('test 1') </script> test html
<script> alert('test 2') </script>";
scripts returns "alert('test 1') </script> test html <script>
alert('test 2')"
It should have returned and array of elements containing each of the
individual script tags code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanx.
