Hi,

I have a filter function for an array collection that I'm working with. In this 
scenario, I start with an ID such as '1'. Based on that, I want to return 
'1_1', '1_2', etc... Basically, an underscore followed by 1 digit. 

Here's the code:

var currentID:String = item.id.toString(); // i.e. 1_1, 1_2, etc..
var testID:String = buttonID + '_'; // buttonID would equal 1
var pattern:RegExp = new RegExp('^' + testID + "."); 
            
if( pattern.exec( currentID ))
    return true;
else
    return false;

The problem is that this filter is also returning other IDs such as '1_1_2', 
'1_1_3'. I thought the '.' would limit it 1 character only after the 
underscore. 

Can anyone see where I may be going wrong? 

Thank you!
