Hi List,

I'm filtering my loaded XML with RegEx (regular expressions). The input i filter on is in a textfield. So I have a textfield on the stage and match that to the text in my XML. Right now i have a pattern the allows me to search only lowercase, but since all the names in my xml start with a capital i have a problem. This is my pattern:

var regObj:RegExp = new RegExp( "^.*[[:upper:]a-z].*"+ searchField_txt.text +".*" );

My xml consist of country names, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Cuba, Cyprus, Denmark etc.

What I want to do is this; when i type: an it returns a list of Andorra, Angola, Anguilla. But when i type in an extra g, so now the word in my textfield becomes: "ang" it should return the list Angola, Anguilla. The pattern i have works a bit, but not quite. And my knowledge of RegEx is only exsisting since this morning. So what i want the RegEx to do is allow me to search the text, no matter if i type in lower-/uppercase and in the correct order.

Is there a RegEx rockstar who can help me on this?

Thanks in advance,

Sidney de Koning
