##### Description

> Stores information on regular expression pattern searches.

##### Syntax

> RegExp.propertyname

> The propertyname argument is one of the RegExp object properties.

##### Remarks

> The RegExp object cannot be created directly, but is always available for use. Its properties have undefined as their value until a successful regular expression search has been completed.

> The following example illustrates the use of the RegExp object:

> >     function matchDemo()
> >     {
> >       var s;
> >       var re = new RegExp("d(b+)(d)","ig");
> >       var str = "cdbBdbsbdbdz";
> >       var arr = re.exec(str);
> >       s = "$1 contains: " + RegExp.$1 + "<BR>";
> >       s += "$2 contains: " + RegExp.$2 + "<BR>";
> >       s += "$3 contains: " + RegExp.$3;
> >       return(s);
> >     }
