[H-GEN] Help with Regular Expressions in javascript?

I'm trying to include a Regular Expression javascript in my proxy.pac file
that filters various contraband from (particularly https:) webmail sites
but I'm strugling somwhat.

I'd like to filter any (eg) .exe .doc .com .pif files based on their
appearance in the url 1) intermediatly or 2) at the end.

The best I can do is:
1) var contraband = /\.(exe|doc|com|pif)/i;
2) var contraband = /\.(exe|doc|com|pif)$/i;

This is later run in against the url to return  or 1

The above dosn't seem to be working (it's rather hard to check) so I'd
appreciate ideas, alternatives on the RE's above.

Cheers
