Android native browser does not support JavaScript Regexp .match()?

Question

The following code doesn't seem to work fine on an android native web browser nor on Dolphin App.

"[1212,1212],[1212,11212]".match(/\d+,\d+/g)

When I alert this statement, it says "undefined"

Is your question "Does Android's native browser support .match()?" Or are you asking for a workaround, or...? — nnnnnn

Yea, does android support regex in javascript? If it does not support, then what is the work around? — Abhilash L R

String.match(regEx) is not supported by most of mobile browsers.

Try String.split(",") instead

[1212,1212],[1212,11212]".split(",") returns an array : [ "[1212,1212]", "[1212,11212]" ]

I hope this is what you're looking for.
