Can any RegEx genius :) tell me whether ActionScript 3 properly
supports multiple backreferences? The code I'm trying to use is this:
private var headerBackreference:RegExp =
/<H([123])>.*?<\/H\1>/;
private function init():void {
var s:String = "<BODY><H2>Valid Chocolate</H2>
<H2>Valid
Vanilla</H2> <H2>Invalid HTML</H3></BODY>";
var a:Array = headerBackreference.exec(s) as
Array;
if(a != null) {
for(var i:int = 0; i<a.length; i++) {
trace(a[i]);
}
}
a = s.match(headerBackreference);
if(a != null) {
for(var i:int = 0; i<a.length; i++) {
trace(a[i]);
}
}
}
I'm just trying to determine whether in fact this should return both
the chocolate and the vanilla, or whether the behavior I see,
returning just chocolate, is accurate. Thanks,
Josh
