match method of String...

[mehdi_mousavi]

Hi folks,
Consider the following string:

var s = 'http://whatever/default.aspx?subid=202&brand=x'

I need to use the match method of String object to find an exact
following pattern:

subid=202

How can I do so?

TIA,
Mehdi

Create a suitable regular expression and pass it to s.match();

Assign the returned value to a variable; if it isn't null, examine its documented properties.

Hmmm... I need the "suitable expression", actually! Would you please
provide me with that?

Considering the following assignement:
var s = 'http://whatever/default.aspx?subid=202&brand=x'

s.match('subid=' + 2)

does not return null!!!! what's that suitable expression???

Thanks

After assimilating the information the address below, you should have no difficulty
