I don't think you need "g" (Global flag) for this.

Wait, think I got it:
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(searchInput.text, "g,i");
var xmlListSearch:XMLList = testXML..*.( re["test"](
attribute("title")));
trace("result: "+xmlListSearch.toString());
seems to work for me. Thanks eveyrone!

Hi Jason,
This works for me:
var testXML:XML = <data>
<topics>
<topic title="Coldplays New Album" />
<topic title="The Dark Knight" />
<topic title="Arrested
Development: The Movie" />
</topics>
</data>;
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(searchInput.text, "g"); var
xmlListSearch:XMLList = testXML.topics.topic.(re["test"](@title));
trace("result: "+xmlListSearch.toXMLString());
Hth,
Bob

OK, so this is almost there, but not quite. If I do as
Kenneth suggested (and this should be able to be reproduced),
var testXML:XML = <data>
<topics>
<topic title="Coldplays New Album" />
<topic title="The Dark Knight" />
<topic title="Arrested
Development: The Movie" />
</topics>
</data>;
var re:RegExp = new RegExp("^"+searchInput.text); var
xmlListSearch:XMLList = testXML.topics.topic.(re["test"](@title));
trace("result: "+xmlListSearch.toXMLString());
(Assuming there is a TextInput text field on the stage and a
function run when a button is clicked to run the regex
search), if I enter the search term, "The", it only returns
the second node containing "The Dark Knight", not the third
topic node, which has a "The" in it's title attribute as
well. If I put "Dark", it doesn't return anything. So it
seems it's only searching nodes where the search term is the
first item.
How can I modify the regular expression above to find all
nodes containing an element of the search term?
