Regular Expression In ActionScript

[pradeep_c84]

Hi Guys,
I need to validate a regular expression against a string very strictly only what is there in string. But at present i don't see such a function for regular expression since bot exec and test doesn't check strictly. for example say i have regular expression for validating 43a^2b^2, but even its 43a it's returning true, as a part of string is present in reg exp. i need true only when exact match is found, is there any way achieve this?

The code I am using at present:

var isRegExp:Boolean = regExp.test(value1);

Thanks in advance...

You can check to see if they're equal: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/...0204-7eef.html
