Foil 79 RegExp Object

From Overview of Basic JavaScript -- Web Scripting Language CPS616 Technologies of the Information Age -- Spring Semester 98. by Tom Scavo,Geoffrey C. Fox
An RegExp object (new in JavaScript 1.2) corresponds to a regular expression
There are two syntaxes: regexp = new RegExp( "pattern" ); regexp = /pattern/;
The latter "compiles" the pattern and is more efficient
The RegExp object has three methods: compile(), exec(), and test()
