No, you can use regular expression literals but you need to be aware of
the consequences. In your sample you could drop the g flag and also, as
already suggested, use the test method instead of the exec method.

Hi,

Yes, I came across that in looking for why it wasn't working.

However, exec returns the captured strings in an array and I need to have
the account separated from the domain name.

I left that out to simplify the sample code.

It's working now.

Thanks,

Gary
