your function was a bit off too...

it worked but you let replace search with a regular expression and when it found a match you searched the string again for that same match, while it already found the match in the first place. In short: your function didn't made much sense logically (aka doesn't teach the proper thing). What you did was like asking a doctor to examine you, and when he lists the problems, you say: screw it, I'll search it myself using that medical reference...



correct way:

code:

---

var s = "Hello there, 1+1 should be 2. And 5-2 will be 3.";
s = s.replace(/([0-9*/+\-()]+)/gi, function($0, $1) { return eval($1) });
Debug.Trace(s);
