Regular Expressions for Foil 58
String methods have been added to JavaScript 1.2 to handle regular expressions: search( regexp ); // like test(...) match( regexp ); // like exec(...) replace( regexp, newsubstr );
match(...) returns an array of strings
The split(...) method now takes a regular expression as optional parameter: var strArray = str.split( /\s*;\s*/ );
