methods
- compile
-
Compiles a Regular Expression object.
- exec
-
Evaluates the Regular Expression object and returns a match array.
- boolean test(string)
-
Returns true when the pattern is found in the string.
- object toSource()
-
Returns a literal representing the source code of the object e.g
"function Object() { [native code] }" or "function Car(manufactuer,
model, productionyear) { this.make = manufactuer; this.model = model;
this.year = productionyear; }".
- string toString()
-
Returns a string representing the object i.e. "[object Object]".
- void unwatch(property)
-
Removes a previously set watchpoint.
- object valueOf()
-
Returns the primitive value of the object e.g. "function Object() { [native code] }".
- void watch(property, handlingFunction)
-
Calls the handlingFunction when the property is changed.
