Im looping an associative array and testing entries name with a regexp.test(), and some entries, that should, do not match with it, but if I use StringObj.match(regexp) this works.
And the more strange thing is that test() works if I use execute match earlier...
var pattern = new RegExp(".*" + this.value + ".*", "gmi");
//console.log(pattern);
for (var key in data) {
//console.log(data[key].name.match(pattern));
if ( pattern.test(data[key].name) )
{
console.log(data[key].name + " - " + key);
$("#d-"+key).show();
}
else
{
$("#d-"+key).hide();
}
}
"this.value" is an input value that I fetch on keyup.
If console.log(match()) is commented test() does not wotk properly, if I uncomment it the works.
( I do not want an alternative to do this, I know how do it, I would like an explanation for this, I think, weird behavior).
Thank you in advance.
