Parsing an URL in JavaScript

Question

I need to parse url in JavaScript.

Here is my code:

var myRe = /\\?*([^=]*)=([^&]*)/;
var myArray = myRe.exec(\"?page=3&Name=Alex\");


for(var i         


        

Answer 1

exec returns a match, or null if no match found. So you need to keep execing until it returns null.

var myRe = /\?*([^=]*)=([^&]*)/;
var myArray;
while((myArray = myRe.exec("?page=3&Name=Alex")) !== null)
{
  for(var i=1;i

Also, you're regex is wrong, it definately needs th g switch, but I got it working using this regex:

var regex = /([^=&?]+)=([^&]+)/g;
