How to loop all the elements that match the regex?

Question

Here is the case: I want to find the elements which match the regex...

targetText = \"SomeT1extSomeT2extSomeT3extSomeT4extSomeT5extSomeT6ext\"

Try using match() on the string instead of exec(), though you could loop with exec as well. Match should give you the all the matches at one go. I think you can omit the global specifier as well.

reg = new RegExp(/e(.*?)e/);   
var matches = targetText.match(reg);
