help with ER...

[M. Magistri]

Hi everyone!

I need help with ER Expressions in JavaScript. I would like to know how to
match text in a textarea object.

I use the ollowing ER but it doesn't funtion:

/^[a-zA-Z]([a-zA-Z0-9\.\-\'\ \n\!]){2,500}/

I also tried to use '$' and 'gm' commands but it doesn't function.

What do i have to do?

Thank You!

It seems correct to me... But "\n" will function as a simples "n",
not as a line break, is it what you want? JavaScript ER's don't have
suport for posix and "\character", you need to use the really
character.
You can use something like:
new RegExp("^[a-zA-Z][\"+ unescape("%13") +"....]");

I can't affirm that it works, but is a alternative...


Sorry for the errors, my English is poor...
