can help

to matches, must put exec() method in while loop.

you can have result looking this:

<script type="text/javascript">     var subject = document.getelementbyid('test').innerhtml;     var pattern = /<!--\{byond:cta\|([^|]+)\|([^|}]+)\}-->/g;     var result = new array();     while( (match = pattern.exec(subject)) != null ) {         result.push(match);     } </script> 

you obtain:

[["<!--{byond:cta|localaction:contact|contact us}-->",   "localaction:contact",   "contact us"],   ["<!--{byond:cta|localaction:product:45|product}-->",   "localaction:product:45",   "product"]]
