Escape Special Characters(like &,^,%,$) In A String Using Script?
Dec 10, 2009
Can anyone tell me how to escape the special characters(like &,^,%,$ etc) in a string using Javascript?
For eg. I have a string like this : "Tes$#t" I want this to be changed to Tes$# before sending as a input parameter. So that i can process the string as it is typed exactly.
am in need of escaping the regular expression special characters like '/', '.', '*', '+', '?', '|','(', ')', '[', ']', '{', '}', '\'.I have try with this by the following javascript but i can not achieve that.
RegExp.escape=function(str) { if (!arguments.callee.sRE) {
I have character counter for textarea wich counting the characters. Special character needs same place as two normal characters because of 16-bit encoding.
Counter is counting -2 when special character is added like some language specific char.
Attempting to use javascript's regular expression methods to match a particular lab number and building which would then be copied to a pair of textfields, I found that general matching characters needing a backslash were not recoginized. The following adapted code that finds a two-button radio selection shows my problem:
function labstat(){ for (i=1; i<3; i++){ if(document.tester.rm_mod[i-1].checked){ var lb = document.tester.elements["lab"+(i)].value;//either 214 or 215* var bld = document.tester.bldg.value; if(/*/.test(lb)){ //error:Undetermined comment // if(/*/.test(lb)){ //error:Syntax error // if(/5/.test(lb)){ //works to match only 215* // if(/5*/.test(lb)){ //true for all // if(/ddd/.test(lb)){ //false for all document.tester.room1.value = lb; document.tester.bldg1.value = bld; } } }
It appears that the escaped characters are not recognized, whichever form of the method is used, i.e var re = /*/; // or = new RegExp("*"); if(re.test(lb)){ -------- With the --.match(__) method I have the same problem.
I am copying from microsoft word a simple word into my application(rich text editor).. i get special characters added to it. how can i get rid of them?
I have a problem displaying a divbox containing a html-textarea - everything works fine with "normal" characters. However, when the textarea contains special chars like <P> or ' , the box fails to show:
I have a number of scripts that take special characters and convert them to their ascii equivalents and them store them in the database.
However I am running into a problem that I have some of those fields are loaded to an array and inserted into cells dynamically. As an example the array would be:
var my_array = [ ["52","Source Data"], ["19","Body & Soap"] ];
Then I have some javascript that creates the cell and inserts the value into a cell text node like:
var x = my_array[1][1]; // this would be "Body & Soap"
//create the cell myTD=document.createElement("TD");
//create the text node myText=document.createTextNode(x);
// Appends each node following the structure. myTD.appendChild(myText);
I am trying to get a series of dynamic digits from page one to page two via the url. below are the codes have been able to come up with. The problem am having however is that the variables from the first page contains two other characters mainly (=) and (on). therefore, the result i get is like this;
What i want displayed are simply the numbers without these two characters.
I have a JSON source (a plain text file) that has some special chars in it and they look correct in the text file. However when I retrieve the file and use $.evalJSON against it the resultant array has things likeinstead.I'm sure I must be missing something obvious
I'm trying to get some images on my page by their src attribute. Src attribute have this format :
src = [URL]
For doing that I'm using the following query :
$j("img[src*='request=gettile'][src*='"+$j(this).data("target")+"']") $j(this).data("target") contains my mapname, it works fine.
But my users can use mapname that can be contained in another map names. Example : mapblabla and pbla. When I'm searching pbla it's returning images of mapblabla and pbla. That's why I need to put the symbol equal before and the symbol & after my map name. Then the request is :
I was hoping that someone could give me a hand with a regex quetsion. I'm quite new to it all, but managed to get things working pretty much how I would like them except for allowing special characters such etc.
