正则表达式
如果原来没有使用过正则表达式,那么可能对这个术语和概念会不太熟悉。不过,它们并不是您想象的那么新奇。请回想一下在硬盘上是如何查找文件的。您肯定会使用 ? 和 * 字符来帮助查找您正寻找的文件。? 字符匹配文件名中的单个字符,而 * 则匹配一个或多个字符。一个如 'data?.dat' 的模式可以找到下述文件:data1.datdata2.datdatax.datdataN.dat如果使用 * 字符代替 ? 字符,则将扩大找到的文件数量。'data*.dat' 可以匹配下述所有文件名:data.datdata1.datdata2.datdata12.datdatax.datdataXYZ.dat尽管这种搜索文件的方法肯定很有用,但也十分有限。? 和 * 通配符的有限能力可以使你对正则表达式能做什么有一个概念,不过正则表达式的功能更强大,也更灵活。

不符合规定!!正则表达式有一个功能十分强大而又十分复杂的对象RegExp,在JavaScript1.2 版本以
上提供。
下面我们看看有关正则表达式的介绍:
正则表达式对象用来规范一个规范的表达式(也就是表达式符不符合特定的要求,比如是不是Email
地址格式等),它具有用来检查给出的字符串是否符合规则的属性和方法。
除此之外,你用RegExp构造器建立的个别正则表达式对象的属性,就已经预先定义好了正则表达式
对象的静态属性,你可以随时使用它们。
This is an impressive collection (that I found somehere on the Net) of various functions to validate or format string in Javascript. The code is very compact. /*******************************************************************************
FILE: RegExpValidate.jsDESCRIPTION: This file contains a library of validation functions
using javascript regular expressions. Library also contains functions that re-
format fields for display or for storage.
VALIDATION FUNCTIONS:
validateEmail - checks format of email address
validateUSPhone - checks format of US phone number
validateNumeric - checks for valid numeric value
validateInteger - checks for valid integer value
validateNotEmpty - checks for blank form field
validateUSZip - checks for valid US zip code
validateUSDate - checks for valid date in US format
validateValue - checks a string against supplied pattern
FORMAT FUNCTIONS:
rightTrim - removes trailing spaces from a string
leftTrim - removes leading spaces from a string
trimAll - removes leading and trailing spaces from a string
removeCurrency - removes currency formatting characters (), $
addCurrency - inserts currency formatting characters
removeCommas - removes comma separators from a number
addCommas - adds comma separators to a number
removeCharacters - removes characters from a string that match passed pattern
