如何遍历多个过滤的正则表达式字符串

Question

I do not know how to better track down the question. What I want to do is to look for every e-mail-address matching my regEx in different div.test , to create <a href="mailto:"> links.

This does work, but if there are multiple mail addresses inside one div, only the first one gets highlighted. Whats the problem?

var regEx = /(\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*)/;

$(".test").filter(function() {
    return $(this).html().match(regEx);
}).each(function() {
    $(this).html($(this).html().replace(regEx, "<a href=\"mailto:$1\">$1</a>"));
});

You must add the global ( g ) flag to you regexp:

var regEx = /(\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*)/g

Otherwise your regex will halt after the first match.
