Regarding the problem of string testing in regular expressions, we generally have two methods: test() and exec(). I will not elaborate on the difference between these two methods here. The main thing is that test() returns Boolean value, exec() returns the matched character array, but today I encountered a problem. The program is very simple, but the problems inside make me puzzled. I couldn't find the answer when I searched for it on the Internet (personally I am not good at it).

Copy code The code is as follows:

var pattern=new RegExp("match","ig");
alert(pattern.test("Match"));
alert(pattern.exec("Match"));

The value of the first alert() is true as expected

But the second test value is unexpectedly null

I don’t know what the reason is for this problem because I haven’t seen the source code of the function. If anyone can point it out, I’d be grateful! !
