Name
RegExp.Global Property
Data Subtype
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 & 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
.
