im working on a filtering program so that an entire paragraph can be pasted in a textarea and it will be filtered. is there a way to read the variable or array each word is placed in to see if it starts with the characters "-A"? in example

var test = "-Advanced,testing,10:00pm";

This will find the first one (if any):
var ary = test.Split(",");
i=0;
while ((i<ary.length) && (ary[i].indexOf("-A") == -1))
{i++;}
if (i<ary.length)
{alert("found [" + i + "] = " + ary[i] + "!");}
else
{alert("none found!");}

well its a little different than that. What the plan is, is to be able to paste a weekes schedule into a box then filter out all of the junk and create outlook calander appointments.

so i filtered everything out and seperated the sections by "," for further splitting down the line, but for now i need to have it skip over any line that starts with -A or -S because those are not needed as appointments..

example schedule before filter:

BREAK1 Apr 10 05:00 pm - Apr 10 05:15 pm

LUNCH Apr 10 06:45 pm - Apr 10 07:15 pm

BREAK2 Apr 10 08:45 pm - Apr 10 09:00 pm

STANDIND Apr 10 03:00 pm - Apr 10 03:07 pm

MEETING Apr 10 05:37 pm - Apr 10 06:07 pm

MEETING2 Apr 10 04:30 pm - Apr 10 05:00 pm

ADVISEMEETING Apr 10 03:00 pm - Apr 10 11:30 pm

SCHEDULE Apr 10 03:00 pm - Apr 10 11:30 pm

example after filter:

-BREAK1,Apr10,5:00pm,Apr10,5:15pm
-LUNCH,Apr10,6:45pm,Apr10,7:15pm
-BREAK2,Apr10,8:45pm,Apr10,9:00pm
-STANDIND,Apr10,3:00pm,Apr10,3:07pm
-MEETING,Apr10,5:37pm,Apr10,6:07pm
-MEETING2,Apr10,4:30pm,Apr10,5:00pm
-ADVISEMEETING,Apr10,3:00pm,Apr10,11:30pm
-SCHEDULE,Apr10,3:00pm,Apr10,11:30pm

what i need it to look like after filtering out the undded lines:

-BREAK1,Apr10,5:00pm,Apr10,5:15pm
-LUNCH,Apr10,6:45pm,Apr10,7:15pm
-BREAK2,Apr10,8:45pm,Apr10,9:00pm
-MEETING,Apr10,5:37pm,Apr10,6:07pm
-MEETING2,Apr10,4:30pm,Apr10,5:00pm

here is my code so far.

<script language="JavaScript">
var nameSpace = null;
var apptFolder = null;
var apptItem = null;
var tempDoc = null;
var outlookApp = null;
var start_time = "6:00pm";
var end_time = "6:30pm";
var start_date = "02/27/2007";
var end_date = "02/27/2007";
var subject_1 = start_time + "-" + end_time + " PBRK1";
var alert_me = "Outlook Appointment Created For " + start_date + " " + subject_1;
function OpenOutlookDoc(whatform) {

outlookApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application");
nameSpace = outlookApp.getNameSpace("MAPI");
apptFolder = nameSpace.getDefaultFolder(9);
apptItem = apptFolder.Items.add(whatform);
apptItem.body="Paid 15 minute break";
apptItem.subject = subject_1;
apptItem.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 5;
apptItem.MeetingStatus = 1;
apptItem.Start = start_date + " " + start_time;
apptItem.End = end_date + " " + end_time;
apptItem.Save();
alert(alert_me);
}
