NOT to consume the single 'A'. * Recall that "?" means "match 0 or 1 times". Here, it should NOT do * greedy matching: it should match 0 times instead of 1. This allows * the 2nd subexpression to make the only match it can: the single 'A'. * Such "altruism" is the only way there can be a successful global match... */ //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- var i = 0; var BUGNUMBER = 87231; var cnEmptyString = ''; var summary = 'Testing regular expression /(A)?(A.*)/'; var status = ''; var statusmessages = new Array(); var pattern = ''; var patterns = new Array(); var string = ''; var strings = new Array(); var actualmatch = ''; var actualmatches = new Array(); var expectedmatch = ''; var expectedmatches = new Array(); pattern = /^(A)?(A.*)$/; status = inSection(1); string = 'AAA'; actualmatch = string.match(pattern); expectedmatch = Array('AAA', 'A', 'AA'); addThis(); status = inSection(2); string = 'AA'; actualmatch = string.match(pattern); expectedmatch = Array('AA', 'A', 'A'); addThis(); status = inSection(3); string = 'A'; actualmatch = string.match(pattern); expectedmatch = Array('A', undefined, 'A'); // 'altruistic' case: see above addThis(); pattern = /(A)?(A.*)/; var strL = 'zxcasd;fl\\\ ^'; var strR = 'aaAAaaaf;lrlrzs'; status = inSection(4); string = strL + 'AAA' + strR; actualmatch = string.match(pattern); expectedmatch = Array('AAA' + strR, 'A', 'AA' + strR); addThis(); status = inSection(5); string = strL + 'AA' + strR; actualmatch = string.match(pattern); expectedmatch = Array('AA' + strR, 'A', 'A' + strR); addThis(); status = inSection(6); string = strL + 'A' + strR; actualmatch = string.match(pattern); expectedmatch = Array('A' + strR, undefined, 'A' + strR); // 'altruistic' case: see above addThis(); //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- test(); //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- function addThis() { statusmessages[i] = status; patterns[i] = pattern; strings[i] = string; actualmatches[i] = actualmatch; expectedmatches[i] = expectedmatch; i++; } function test() { printBugNumber(BUGNUMBER); printStatus (summary); testRegExp(statusmessages, patterns, strings, actualmatches, expectedmatches); }
