Hi Wagner and Juan Pablo,
Thanks for the response! I also tried this:
var regObj:RegExp = new RegExp( "ˆ" + searchField_txt.text, "i" );
var filteredList:XMLList = landen.country.
( regObj.test( countryname.toLowerCase() ) );
And that worked aswell. However the sollution provided by both of you
is the way it should.
Thanks!
Sidney

If you pass a second parameter of "i" to the RegExp constructor, it
will
match insensitively:
var regObj:RegExp = new RegExp( "ˆ" + searchField_txt.text, "i" );
Look here for the description of all the flags a RegExp can take in

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
