Javascript Question

[jgingras]

I dont use javascript a ton so this might seem like a stupid question.. but im trying to pass a variable in a function..

 

>function repopDiv(searchstr) {
 if (searchstr == '') {
popDiv('',EmailsArray);
 } else {
popDiv(/^*searchstr here*/i,EmailsArray);
 }
}

 

searchstr is a string that needs to be examined in the regular expression checking.. but how do I do that? if I do /^searchstr/i, it will look for searchstr.. Not sure exactly how to wrap it..

 

Thanks everyone!

I understand that you maybe are in a hurry and need to get this solved, but please do not bump the thread, if someone has an answer to your question he or she will post.

Sorry about that... I just figured it out...

 

var test = '^' + searchstr;

popDiv(RegExp(test,'i'),EmailsArray);

 

Thanks..
