Hi,

I'm trying to use regExp in my application,
It works fine for most patterns but i can't use the character '.'


for example:

 char* regExp="var re=new RegExp(\"\\.\",\"g\");re.test(\"ghhfdhgh\");";
  JS_EvaluateScript(cx, global, regExp, strlen(regExp), filename, lineto,
&rval);

returns me true instead of false !!

i typed the same pattern (except that i didn't backquote the " characters)
in the shell it works fine

I 'm stuck... if someone can help !

thank you

Moe
