Hi, I haven't used the match() method before but am trying to use it in
conjunction with the length property to find out how many instances of a
substring are contained within a string.
I grabbed this example from my Google search:
<script language="JavaScript">
var s = "Tony was here. Not Bob, Tony's brother, but Tony himself.";
var occur = s.match("Tony");
document.write(occur.length);
</script>
The site listing the above said the output should be 3 but I get 1. I am
using IE6.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks a lot,
Clancy
