Comparing Elements In An Array To Letters In A String?

May 9, 2011

I'm looking to do two things: the first is to move elements of an array to the next index using a function. I have managed to do this like so:

var letters = ['h','i','j','k'];
function moveElements(anArray){
var newArray = anArray;

Comparing Array Values To Select Unique Array Elements?

Apr 10, 2010

This one is throwing me off! Either I am making a stupid mistake or I'm doing it totally wrong I have an array, and I am trying to select unique values from it and assign it to another array. Here is the code:

Code:
var flag;
for (i=0;i<=pdfs.length-1;i++)
{
flag = 1;
for (j=0;j<=pdfs2.length-1;j++)

[Code]...

The problem is that the if (pdfs2[j] == pdfs[i]) statement ends up never being true. There are URL's to pdf files in the array. On the other side, if there is a much easier way to select unique values from an array, please feel free to point it out.

Modify String - Lowercase Letters And Uppercase Letters In A String And Then Swap Them

Jan 19, 2010

I am currently trying to build a new function in javascript that is supposed to handle a string of text. The idea is that it should find the lowercase letters and uppercase letters in a string and then swap them.

Meaning all lowercase letter becomes uppercase letter and vice versa.

So i am just asking if someone could point me in the right direction or give some tips. I've currently been reading about the toUpperCase(); and toLowerCase(); functions and i am fairly confident i know how to use them for switching, however i still need a way to find the lower , upper character in the string so i later can switch them.

Regular Expressions - Detect Letters In String?

Mar 2, 2011

I'm trying to make a script which will check if the string which the user sent from a form contains ONLY letters. The problem is if the user entered something like this "25 years old" it allow that to be submitted. It only blocks submissions of the form if the user submits NO letters like this "12345". I want it to block submissions if at least one character isn't a letter. Here's my code:

var message = document.myform.formtest.value;
var allowed = /[A-z+]/;
if(!allowed.test(message)) {
alert("The field only allows letters (a-z).");
return false;
}

Sort Array Of Numbers And Letters

Jul 6, 2010

I have an array which is populated by a count of instances from another array, so its ends up with data like:

I need to sort this by the number before the 'x'.

At present, a .sort() would put 1 - 9 before anything greater than 10, obviously not what I'm after.

How can I make it put this array into the correct order (e.g 22 x something else, 17 x another event, 5 x that event, 2 x this event)

Regular Expression - Enter A String That Is 2 - 20 Characters Long And Only Has Letters Doesn't Work

Jun 28, 2010

I wanted to try creating a basic expression first. I want someone to enter a string that is 2 - 20 characters long and only has letters. This is what I use so far, and it doesn't work, nothing happens at all when I run it.

Code:
// Check for a valid name.
var namePattern = new RegExp("/^[a-zA-Z]{2,20}$/");
if (namePattern.test(name))
{
window.alert("Invalid");
}

name comes from a input box I display on screen. Also, I would like to update the expression so that there can be one space in the string, but it cannot be at the beginning or end. So this string is like a persons name. Bob is OK, Bob Smith is also OK. Edit: Actually, it is doing something but its always coming back invalid.

Shuffle Array Elements (3 To End Of Array) In Random Order

May 6, 2007

I'd like to reorganize the third, fourth, fifth and sixth, as well as any
elements thereafter in an array in random order:

var a = new Array('first','second','third','fourth','fifth','s ixth','etc')

In other words, the first, second and third element should remain in
position 0, 1 and 2, while the fourth, fifth and sixth, etc. should appear
in random order.

Process String Formatted As Array Into Array?

Mar 18, 2011

I get strings in this format:

([{"result":"-1","message":"Error","target":""},{"result":"-2","message":"Access Denied","target":""}])

this string will evaluate to a 2D array if I do this:var array = eval(string);But eval is not very safe.Is there a way to achieve the same effect (turn that string into 2d array) without using eval function?And I have no control over what string I am given, so will have to process this kind of a string =Right now I am thinking of writing a custom function which will split the string and then split again etc, but is there already something that can do this job?

Using A String As A Pointer To An Array?

Apr 26, 2011

So i've written up the code to do a lightbox esque overlay image gallery. everything is working smooth and fine. The only concern is that I have the following:

lets say that I have a page that has multiple galleries. Obviously I would have to make each literal array with the gallery data different names, ex:

var _gallery1 = {
'images': [
{ 'id' : 1, 'src' : "" }
]

[Code]....

obviously "galVariable" would be undefined... as i'm trying to get "_gallery2.images" but trying to use "galVariable" to point to "_gallery2"

I'm familiar with solving a problem like this in PHP, not so much javascript. is there a JS function that can be used to ensure that it's using whatever "galVariable" equals to, and then that array's content is? Or is there a different way to go on about this.
