Recursive matching with regular expressions in Javascript

by

Annoyingly, Javascript does not provide the PCRE recursive parameter (?R), so it is far from easy to deal with the nested issue. It can be done however.

I won’t reproduce code, but if you check out Steve Levithan’s blog, he has some good articles on the subject. He should do, he is probably the leading authority on RegExp in JS. He wrote XRegExp, which replaces most of the PCRE bits that are missing, there is even a Match Recursive plugin!
