var pairs = qString.split(/&/);
for (var i in pairs) {

Nov 3, 2011I'm writing a piece of JS code that returns a result of true if the pattern appears in string as a substring (case sensitive) but would like to extend its functionality to returns true if all the individual characters of pattern appear in string (regardless of order).
For example:This is what the program currently does:
match1("adipisci","pis") returns true
Whereas I would now like it to do this:
match1("adipisci","sciip") returns true
match2("adipisci","sciipx") returns false because x does not exist in variable
match3["adipisci","adipisci"] returns true in array 1 and 2 if "sciip" is searched
match4["adipisci","adipiscix"] returns false in array 1 and true in array 2 if "sciipx" is searched
I am having difficulty implementing this into my code... this is what I've done so far:

View 10 Replies View RelatedDisplaying A Single String Value In A Textarea As Multilined
Nov 9, 2010Using js, I would like to write a single string of several phrases into a textarea such that each phrase is aligned in order, one above the other. I tried a function that receives the string argument and splits it into an array. With a 'for-loop', elements of the array are assigned in turn to the textarea value. This gives me only the last element ('GROUP BY room') displayed , since it was the last assigned. My placing of a '+', a break("<br>") or a newline( ) didn't help. To get the idea, the following piece of script displays the string as broken, stacked, but not in the textarea where I want it:
$Statement = "SELECT all data,
FROM Departments,
WHERE grouphead = 'Milo',
GROUP BY rooms";
