Returns the characters from the position following the last match to the end of the searched string. Read-only.

RegExp.rightContext

The object associated with this property is always the global RegExp object.

Remarks

The initial value of the rightContext property is an empty string. The value of the rightContext property changes whenever a successful match is made.

Example

The following example illustrates the use of the rightContext property:

function matchDemo(){
   var s;                                //Declare variable.
   var re = new RegExp("d(b+)(d)","ig"); //Regular expression pattern.
   var str = "cdbBdbsbdbdz";             //String to be searched.
   var arr = re.exec(str);               //Perform the search.
   s = "$1 returns: " + RegExp.$1 + "\n";
   s += "$2 returns: " + RegExp.$2 + "\n";
   s += "$3 returns: " + RegExp.$3 + "\n";
   s += "input returns : " + RegExp.input + "\n";
   s += "lastMatch returns: " + RegExp.lastMatch + "\n";
   s += "leftContext returns: " + RegExp.leftContext + "\n";
   s += "rightContext returns: " + RegExp.rightContext + "\n"; 
   s += "lastParen returns: " + RegExp.lastParen + "\n";
   return(s);                            //Return results.
}
document.write(matchDemo());
