Name
RegExp.Global Property
Data Type
Boolean
Description
Determines whether the search for a pattern string should match all occurrences in the search string or just the first one.
Rules at a Glance
A search will attempt to locate only the first occurrence of
the pattern string in a search string; that is, the default value of
the Global property is False. If
you want to search for all occurrences of the pattern string in the
search string, you must set the Global property to True.
Programming Tips and Gotchas
If you’re interested only in determining whether the pattern
string exists in the search string, there’s no point in overriding
the Global property’s default value of False.
