I have a variable that contains some text, some html, basically can be a string. I need to search the variable for a specific string to process that variable differently if it is contained. Here is a snippet of what I am trying to do, does not work obviously :)
$.each(data.results,
function(i, results) {
var text = this.text
var pattern = new RegExp("^[SEARCHTERM]$");
if(pattern.test( text ) )
alert(text); //was hoping this would alert the SEARCHTERM if found...
