The problem is: I am trying to filter an arraycollection(labels) against the text. Using a filter function and in there I am trying to use RegExp.
More specifically, whenever I enter a text like 12.0, it returns me results with "-" character as well like 12-0 etc. So I want that whenever I enter "." in my search, it should only return me results with "." and NOT "-" and vice-versa. Thanks, Manu.
