Hi,

Ive got a document containing an array and want to perform a regex on an 
array item called name, it is located in the Stores field

what ive got at the moment is...

function(doc) 
{ 

  for (id in doc.Stores)
  {
    //regular expression to ensure a store name starts with "C" and ends 
with "k"
    var strqry = doc.Stores[id].name.match(/^C([a-z]*)k/);
 
    if (strqry)
    { 
      emit(doc.Stores[id].name, doc.product_name + " qty: " + 
doc.Stores[id].item_count);
    }
  } 
}

a javascript regex validator told me that that regex is correct, I think 
it may be something wrong with the way that I am pointing the regex to the 
"stores[id].name"

Cheers :)
