Google Script RegEx spreadsheet by cell range

Background (optional) . I wrote a working script file in VBA that I am trying to write to JS for Google spreadsheets, but I had huge difficulties with regular expression validation based on each cell.

In this VBA code snippet, I set the data range and check each cell for a previously installed RegEx.

Set rRange = Range(arrLetters1(i) & intRange1, arrLetters2(i) & intRange2)

For Each rCell In rRange.Cells
  If re.Test(rCell) Then
    rCell.Interior.Color = RGB(0, 250, 0)
  Else
    Cells((intRange1 - 1), rCell.Column).Interior.Color = RGB(250, 0, 0)
    rCell.Interior.Color = RGB(250, 0, 0)
  End If
Next rCell

What I'm curious about is the actual JavaScript function that will allow me to view the same range and perform the same operation. Here is what I have:

var re = "[a-z]+"
var rRange = sheet.getRange(arrLetters1(i) + intRange1, arrLetters2(i) + intRange2)

for (var rCell in rRange) {
  if (rCell //is a "re" match) {
      //do some code
  }
} else {
     //do something else
}

2 , RegEx JS, WScript.Echo - JScript , document.write response.write -

var rRange = "this string is for testpurposes"
var re = /[a-z]+/
var regExp = new RegExp(re);
if (rRange.match(regExp)) {
  WScript.echo("Successful match");
} else {
  WScript.echo("No match");
}

=>Successful match

var str="The rain in SPAIN stays mainly in the plain"; 
var n=str.match(/ain/g);
WScript.echo(n); 
=> ain,ain,ain
