item.setRegex ?

Andy Knipp

OK, so from the manual I can do this:

item.setRegex(/^[1-9]$/);

to define the validation regex in formapi.

But what if I want to define a variable and use it as the regex (I am setting an array of choices and will choose the correct one)


val="/^[1-9]$/";
item.setRegex(val);


does not work

Any ideas ?
