Modify String - Lowercase Letters And Uppercase Letters In A String And Then Swap Them
Jan 19, 2010I 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.

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
My problem is im trying to use string.replace that is not case sensitive and replace every string found. I could use regular expression with it but my stringToBeFound is a dynamic variable im getting it from my database
Regular Expressions - Detect Letters In String?
Mar 2, 2011I'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;
}

Replace A String With Another String, The Replace Lines Look Like This?
Aug 19, 2010I ran into a problem that I could not fix myself, I am trying to replace a string with another string, the replace lines look like this:
Code:
var word = document.getElementById("word").innerHTML; document.getElementById("word").innerHTML = wordd.replace(/B/g, '<span class="style106">B</span><span class="style107"> </span>'); It works just perfectly if left alone, but I need to replace every letter inside this string, adding those style and span tags around each and every letter. So if I add another line to this code, like this:

Regular Expression - Enter A String That Is 2 - 20 Characters Long And Only Has Letters Doesn't Work
Jun 28, 2010I 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedJQuery :: Possible To Replace String Characters?
Aug 4, 2009I 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.

Jquery :: Replace / Remove From String Using Array?
Nov 16, 2011I'm trying to figure out how I replaces/removes parts of text in string in realtime using jQuery. This is what I got now:
PHP Code:
$str = 'This is a <b>test</b>. Its not going well!';
echo '<div class="element">';
echo '<span>'.$str.'</span>';
echo '</div>';
echo '<p>Remove</p>';
Code JavaScript:
$('p').click(function() {
$('.element span').each(function() {
var test = array('<b>','</b>','well');
//var test = 'not';
console.log($(this).text());
var text = $(this).text().replace(test, '');
$(this).text(text);
});
});
The problem: As above nothing happens. If I use the var test = 'not'; instead of the array part it works except it also removes the <b> tags? How do I get the array part to work and why is it removing htmltags when executed?

Jquery :: Add Simple String Replace To Change Each Space
Nov 14, 2011I have an input box with a 'did you mean' box that pops up under it, and it pulls it's results from another php page, however when a term with a space in it, such as "I am" vs. "Im" is entered, it stops working. This is the code I'm using to pull the results. So I made a added a simple string replace to change each space into '+';
search = $('#search').val().replace(' ','+');
search.keyup(function() {
results.load('results.php?q=' + search);
});
But for some reason it is only changing the first space into a '+'; so for example: "Hello how are you" = "Hello+how are you". But I need it to change to "Hello+how+are+you";
JQuery :: Why Does String Replace() Not Work For The Results Of The Html() Method
Aug 13, 2011I've seen an other post talking about not being able to perform a .html().replace() also, but no one replied.
[URL]
Why is this? I ran into the same problem and from what I was seeing, the replace() was only replacing the very first match. My work around was pretty simple, I just keep running replace() until it was done, but I'm dumbfounded as to why this would need to be done.
while (newLastRow.html().indexOf(settings.placeholder) > -1){
newLastRow.html(newLastRow.html().replace(settings.placeholder, curTotal)); }
As with the other post, I'm dynamically adding html to the page using a template, where the replace() method is updating the IDs of the fields when adding a new instance.
What's special about the value returned by the html() method? Is there a different preferred way to do this?
JQuery :: Use .replaceWith To Target And Replace All Instances Of Simple Text String?
May 11, 2011I am working on a site that has an acronym in the content that require a registered trademark symbol. This content is added via a CMS. I am currently having problems with the special character sticking when entered via the CMS textfield (it turns into a ? if the CMS page is edited and resaved), which brings me to my question:I would like to just enter the basic acronym via the CMS, like so: ACRONYM and then use the JQuery .replaceWith feathure to add the registered trademark to the ACRONYM dynamically so it will return: ACRONYM ® in place of all instances of ACRONYM that exist within a container div that has a lot of other content like so.I tried the following example and it worked in my webpage, but when I tried to change the code to replace just a text string instead of the p tag it did not work. I did not see an example of this in the documentation. So is this possible with .replaceWith and how would I fashion the code to look for the ACRONYM only? or is there some other method that is better suited fro what I am trying to do? [code]

String.replace
Apr 4, 2007I was tring to write a function to make that took the letters that a
user is searching for and making the first occurrence of it bold in
the results (ignoring the case).
>From reading javascript books and looking at posts in this group, I
thought this would work. Perhaps I misunderstood what $1 is. But in
the results, I am getting a bold $1 with IE6.
How can I determine what the occurrence of the phrase is in the
correct case?
I realize I can write this parsing the string without regular
expressions but I thought this would be cleaner.
var match = new RegExp( escapeCharsForRegExp(typedLetters), "i");
if (match.test(text))
{
text = text.replace(match, '<b>' + '$1' + '</b>' );
}
String.replace(/</g,'<');
Jul 20, 2005Three questions
1)
I have a string function that works perfectly but according to W3C.org
web site is syntactically flawed because it contains the characters </
in sequence. So how am I supposed to write this function?
String.replace(/</g,'<');
2)
While I'm on the subject, anyone know why they implemented replace using
a slash delimiter instead of quotes? I know it's how it's done in Perl
but why is it done that way?
3)
One last regexp question:
is it possible to do something like this:
String.replace(/<(.*?)>(.*?)</$1>/ig,'<$1>$2</$1>');
This is just an example where a sub-match used in a regular expression
must sub-match again exactly as it did the first time later in the same
string. But I don't know how to do that in a regexp although it seems
like it should be possible.
