Not sure what you mean. Regular expressions work on strings of text,
regardless of the origin or nature of that text. It may come from a
TextRange(), from a paragraph element, a user prompt, it doesn't make a
single difference.

The regex can itself be dynaically constructed using the RegExp object, or
it can be a static literal, spelled out in the script, but again, once
constructed, there is no difference and the procedure and results are all
the same.

You may use a range's toString method to get the text of the range. You
may than us your regExp with that string.
