extractScripts :: String

extractScripts() -> [script...] Exctracts the content of any script block present in the string and returns them as an array of strings.

This method is used internally by evalScripts(). It does not evaluate the scripts (use evalScripts() to do that), but can be usefull if you need to evaluate the scripts at a later date.

Examples

'lorem... <script>2 + 2</script>'.extractScripts();

// -> ['2 + 2']

'<script>2 + 2</script><script>alert("hello world!")</script>'.extractScripts();

// -> ['2 + 2', 'alert("hello world!")']

Notes

To evaluate the scripts later on, you can use the following:

var myScripts = '<script>2 + 2</script><script>alert("hello world!")</script>'.extractScripts();

// -> ['2 + 2', 'alert("hello world!")']

var myReturnedValues = myScripts.map(function(script) {

return eval(script);

});

// -> [4, undefined] (and displays 'hello world!' in the alert dialog)
