    Description
    Contains a regular expression pattern.

    Syntax 1
    var regularexpression = /pattern/[switch]

    Syntax 2
    var regularexpression = new RegExp("pattern",["switch"])

    The regular expression object syntax has these parts:

    pattern Required. The regular expression pattern to use.

    If you use Syntax 1, delimit the pattern by "/" characters.

    If you use Syntax 2, enclose the pattern in quotation marks.

    switch Optional. Enclose switch in quotation marks if you use Syntax 2.

    Available switches are:
        i (ignore case)
        g (global search for all occurrences of pattern)
        gi (global search, ignore case)
