24.160.2. DescriptionThe RegExp.toString( ) method returns a string representation of a regular expression in the form of a regular-expression literal. Note that implementations are not required to add escape sequences to ensure that the returned string is a legal regular-expression literal. Consider the regular expression created by the expression new RegExp("/","g"). An implementation of RegExp.toString( ) could return ///g for this regular expression; it could also add an escape sequence and return /\//g. |
