Preserved Topic: RegExps + IE + NS

Again, I can't see what's wrong!?

Maybe someone can not only help me solving it but also explaining to me why Netscape is always causing me troubles.

pat = /.*function[ ]+([^\(]+)[\(]([^\)]*)\)/;

  str = new String(new Function("alert('hi!');"));

//  alert(str);

  alert(str.match(pat));

IE displays correctly what should be seen, but NS is displaying NULL! what's wrong?!

If you remove ".*" from the beginning of the RegEx it will work fine in NN...

Thanks mr.Max....it worked....


I though of that too today...
