Re: [flexcoders] Flex RegExp issues
The dot character matches "any character", so that the regex "12.0" will match "12-0", "12x0", "12P0" etc. If you want to match the "dot" itself, you have to escape it, i.e. "12\.0".

Re: [flexcoders] Flex RegExp issues
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.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex RegExp issues
anotherStr = str.replace(/\([\.-])/gi, "\\$1");
That should match either a . OR a -
I forgot about regexp literals - thinking about passing a string, in
which case you have to escape the escape character.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex RegExp issues
\. will match a literal full stop.
\\ will match a backslash.
- will match normally without being escaped, so long as it's not in
the context of a character range (ie [a-z] means match any character
from a to z, to match a, - or z you'd do [a\-z])

Re: [flexcoders] Flex RegExp issues
I doubt it. Explain what you are trying to do and it'd be easier to
help you.
[] is for defining a set of matching characters. You shouldn't be
trying to use | in there.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex RegExp issues
Is this correct way to do that:
var someStr:String = "12-88";
var str:String = "12.88";
anotherStr = str.replace(/\([.|-])/gi, "\\$1");
var bool:Boolean = someStr.match(new RegExp("anotherStr ",'i');

Escape them by doing \. instead of .
You might also have to escape the escape character too, i.e. \\. instead.
