- Perform simple validation of a string against a regular expression. The second
- argument of the function should be a string regular expression (without the //'s)
- or an array of regular expressions. If none of the regular expressions in the array
- match the string passed in, then an exception will be raised.
+ Perform simple validation of a string against one or more regular
+ expressions. The first argument of this function should be a string to
+ test, and the second argument should be a stringified regular expression
+ (without the // delimiters) or an array of regular expressions. If none
+ of the regular expressions match the string passed in, compilation will
+ abort with a parse error.
- Example:
-
- These strings validate against the regular expressions
+ The following strings will validate against the regular expressions:
validate_re('one', '^one$')
validate_re('one', [ '^one', '^two' ])
- These strings do NOT validate
+ The following strings will fail to validate, causing compilation to abort:
validate_re('one', [ '^two', '^three' ])
