Hi Jason,
The error you're getting is actually syntatical. Here's what you wrote:
re.(attribute())
And what you should've done:
re.test(attribute())
Since re is an object of type RegExp, you want to call the method test() on
it, and I guess it will work then
Also, I believe this is more concise:
xml..*.topic.
instead of:
xml.topics..topic.*.
Still, I've got a bizarre behaviour when testing this out, I'll post a new
thread shortly describing the problem.
