Hi Jason,
This works for me:
var testXML:XML = <data>
<topics>
<topic title="Coldplays New Album" />
<topic title="The Dark Knight" />
<topic title="Arrested Development: The
Movie" />
</topics>
</data>;
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(searchInput.text, "g");
var xmlListSearch:XMLList = testXML.topics.topic.(re["test"](@title));
trace("result: "+xmlListSearch.toXMLString());
Hth,
Bob

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] E4X filtering strange behaviour
OK, so this is almost there, but not quite. If I do as Kenneth
suggested (and this should be able to be reproduced),
var testXML:XML = <data>
<topics>
<topic title="Coldplays New Album" />
<topic title="The Dark Knight" />
<topic title="Arrested Development: The
Movie" />
</topics>
</data>;
var re:RegExp = new RegExp("^"+searchInput.text);
var xmlListSearch:XMLList = testXML.topics.topic.(re["test"](@title));
trace("result: "+xmlListSearch.toXMLString());
(Assuming there is a TextInput text field on the stage and a function
run when a button is clicked to run the regex search), if I enter the
search term, "The", it only returns the second node containing "The Dark
Knight", not the third topic node, which has a "The" in it's title
attribute as well. If I put "Dark", it doesn't return anything. So it
seems it's only searching nodes where the search term is the first item.
How can I modify the regular expression above to find all nodes
containing an element of the search term?
Thanks,
Jason Merrill
