Well,
Yes as I stated before this line is where my error was at.
Looks like inverted the function;
Line: if (token = regMetar.test())
should really have been: if (regMetar.test(token))
Got this from a referenced code on the wiki app that is in the Adobe
site.
I just read it wrong and I was thinking with my 20+ years of faded
programing... it´s been that long since I coded :)
Thanks for the input FlexiSush
Regards,
Jose
