I have a JavaScript string. I want to replace all consecutive occurrences of whitespace characters like spaces, tabs, newlines, and form feeds with another string.
For example, say I have a string consisting of:
-- 3 spaces -- The characters "hello" -- 2 newline ( ) characters -- The characters "goodbye" -- 5 spaces
After applying some sort of regular expression to replace consecutive occurrences of whitespace chars with the string "X", the string should consist of the following:
-- The character "X" -- The characters "hello" -- The character "X" -- The characters "goodbye" -- The character "X"
How could I do this using regular expressions? I'm quite familiar with JavaScript but don't know anything about regular expressions or using them in JavaScript, so please show me step-by-step how it's done.
I am running a search on my web site which uses jQuery to take the search terms and build up a URL based on them. For example, if someone searches for "chair" my URL will be appended with /chair/. However, if someone searches for something which is two words, for example "chair covers" I need the space in between to be replaced by a "+" sign so the URL will now be appended with /chair+covers/ I'm not sure if it is possible to string replace in jQuery?
Here is my current code: function sendSearchInput(whichelement,hiddeninput,formid) { hval = $("#"+hiddeninput).val(); $("#"+formid).submit(function() { if ($("input:#"+whichelement).val() != hval) { var searchval = $("#"+whichelement).val().toLowerCase(); $("#"+formid).attr("action","retail/search/"+searchval+"/"); return true; } $("input:#"+whichelement).focus(); return false; });}
This will basically check that the form is not the default value (specified in the hidden field "hval") and then change the search term to lowercase and append the URK using "attr". I have tried a couple of methods including var test = searchval.text().replace(' ','+'); And then trying to alert "test" to check it but the function just simply doesn't work.
I am trying to replace all newline characters with <br /> tags. The following two javascript functions that I've found, work in Firefox but do not work in Internet Explorer (I have version 7 installed on my machine).
I have this script for replacing characters on form fields. I want to use it to remove letter accents. It is made to replace just one character, but I'm trying to modify it to replace many characters at once, but I'm not being able to get it to work correctly.
These are the characters that I would like to include code...
I'm just wandering, how can you stop the replace() function from replacing characters inside a word, such as, if I try to replace 'x' with 'and', then my string would go from 'example, x' to 'eandample, and'.
This is driving me nuts :) I need to replace all instances of "zz" with 'Z'. I can easily replace other strings such as a = a.replace(/mickeymouse/, "Z"); but a = a.replace(/zz/, "Z"); doesn't work. Must be a double characer thing?
Is there a way to make one regex to replace a space with "Â " and a tab with "Â "?
Currently I'm using two regex's with string.replace( ... ).replace( ... ), but that means it has to run through the string twice. Any way to do what I want in one regex?
to eliminate spaces in a string, as well as converting things like ";," to ";" in strings.Several instances of these replacements will have to occur in the strings.Unfortunately, I cannot make it work for converting two commas into one or for eliminating line breaks. Does anyone know how to do this (preferably without using "while")?
