Matches gone after replacement
Hi James, I was wondering, is it possible to see what strings in the DOM matched the find: RegExp? I am using the following options and would like to know which strings where matched.
var searchConfig = {
find: new RegExp(pool.searchText, 'g'),
wrap: wType || 'span',
wrapClass: wClass || 'filter-number',
};
var finder = findAndReplaceDOMText(domElement, searchConfig);
Since the matches are popped finder.matches is empty after execution. Is there a way to seperate find and wrap function calls to extract the matches in beween?
If not I could implement some 'persistentMatches: true' flag that would write the matches into this.persistentMatches or so?
Keep up the awsome work.
Thank you
Christian
