Is there a way in JavaScript to get Boolean value for a match of the string against the array of regular expressions?
The example would be (where the 'if' statement is representing what I'm trying to achieve):
var thisExpressions = [ '/something/', '/something_else/', '/and_something_else/'];
var thisString = 'else';
if (matchInArray(thisString, thisExpressions)) {
}
var thisExpressions = [/something/, /something_else/, /and_something_else/];
var thisExpressions2 = [/else/, /something_else/, /and_something_else/];
var thisString = 'else';
function matchInArray(string, expressions) {
var len = expressions.length,
i = 0;
for (; i < len; i++) {
if (string.match(expressions[i])) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
};
setTimeout(function() {
console.log(matchInArray(thisString, thisExpressions));
console.log(matchInArray(thisString, thisExpressions2));
}, 200)
