Hi,

I'm having trouble with the RegExp object's exec() method, which according to the docs shoudl return an array of all matches.  For me, it only returns the first match.

I am trying to use it to identify the cameras in a .duf file.  There are two instances of the string "camera" in the file - one as such, and one as "current_camera", but exec() only returns the first when using the pattern "camera".

var filedir = new DzDir("C:/Users/blah/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library/Scenes");var filename = new DzGZFile(filedir.path() + "/TestScene01.duf");if ( ! filename.exists() ) {	print("File not found");}if ( filename.open( DzFile.ReadOnly ) ) {	print(String("File opened, size %1").arg(filename.size()));	var lines = filename.read();	print("Length " + lines.length);	var obj = JSON.parse(lines);	var dufstr = JSON.stringify(obj);		for (var ok = 0; ok < Object.keys(obj).length; ok++ ) {		print(Object.keys(obj)[ok]);	}	//var rg = new RegExp("camera","gm");	//var rg = /camera/gm;	var rg = new RegExp( /camera/gm );	var aCams = rg.exec(dufstr);	print("aCams length = " + aCams.length);	print("idx = " + rg.search(dufstr));	for (var x = 0; x < aCams.length; x++) {		print("x: " + x + " - " + aCams[x]);	}}

No matter how I define the regex, and with or without the g and m pattern flags, the results I get are these:

File opened, size 17297Length 195878file_versionasset_infogeometry_librarynode_libraryuv_set_libraryimage_librarymaterial_librarysceneDufstuff length = undefinedaCams length = 1idx = 11858x: 0 - cameraResult: Script executed in 0 secs 22 msecs.

As can be seen, only the first occurence of "camera" is returned, which seems to be incorrect.

Any help/suggestions/corrections appreciated.
