Checking for matching values in a string

rmagan · Jan 12, 2004

I have a form that accepts a field(p_chg_semester).
I need to check the value of p_chg_semester to see if it exists in the string (field_string). For example.
If the sample below a value of '*G*' would be one of the valid entries.

field_string = '*A**B**C**D**F**G**H**I**J**K*';
<input type="text" name="p_chg_semester" onChange="IsValidSemester(this.value)">);

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function huh() {
var objRE = /*G*/;
var field_string = '*A**B**C**D**F**G**H**I**J**K*';
if (objRE.test(field_string)) {
document.write("Found!&quot

;
}
else
{
document.write("Not found!&quot

;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="huh();">
</body>
</html>

Sorry there's a small mistake....
Should be:
var objRE = /\*G\*/;
