Overrides Object.toString( )
Synopsis
regexp.toString( )Returns
A string representation of regexp.
Throws
TypeError
If this method is invoked on an object that is not a RegExp.
Description
The 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, or it could also
add an escape sequence and return /\//g.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
