exec Method

Executes a search for a match in a specified string.

Syntax

rgexp.exec(str)

Arguments

rgexp

A RegularExpression object. Can be a variable name or a literal. Required.

str

The string to perform a search on. Required.

Remarks

The results of an exec method search are placed into an array.
If the exec method does not find a match, it returns null. If it finds one or more matches, the exec method returns an array, and the RegExp object is updated to reflect the results of the search.
