I have the following
EmployeeTable.prototype.xmlToArray = function(xml) {
// Parse the XML string into a XMLDocument
var xmlDoc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(xml, 'text/xml');
var nodes = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("employee");
var employees = [];
for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) {
employee = nodes[i];
var innerHTML = employee.innerHTML;
var name = innerHTML.filterEmployeesXML("name");
console.log(name);
}
};
which calls a function
String.prototype.filterEmployeesXML = function(valToFind) {
var regex = new RegExp(/<name>([^<]*)<\/name>/);
var match = employee.innerHTML.match(regex);
return match[1];
};
However, I want to be able to do this for more than just name, i.e. I want to be able to filterEmployeesXML("jobTitle"), etc. where valToFind is the value to be found in the XML collection.
I've tried to do this using basic string concatenation, though I haven't a clue when it comes to Regex, any pointers?
