I am trying search and replace text in a table tds.

I am working on a search function to call some data from an XML document. It works fine except for the fact that it's case sensitive.
What method do I need to use from the String object to make it case insensitive, so that a J is the same as j?
I was thinking of changing my text box string to all lower case using toLowerCase(). If I did this, then would I have to do the same thing in the info retrieved from the XML document? I want to make it so that Tom is the same as tom - I'm just wondering where I would have to apply these - to both the XML doc (being read for the output) as well as the text box string (the input).
Just wondering if I'm overthinking this, or on the right track with toLowerCase().
Also, in my search, to filter the results from only entering a few letters (not the entire element, I'm using the substr() method. It seems to work but I don't know if this affecting the case somehow...
The javascript below is looking for the word 'margaret thatcher' in the body and surrounding it with a link. It's lower-case but the script is ignoring the case so that won't matter. But, the problem is that because Margaret Thatcher is a proper noun, it will be capitalized in the body text yet replaced with lower-case text. How can I modify this script to look for the word while ignoring the case but use the same text it found as the replacement instead of using the text object?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to reduce a large number of pdf files to text format. Acrobat has a batch processing feature that will convert the files, and also allows a JavaScript to be executed as part of the conversion process.
I would like to add JavaScript code that allows me to replace and/or remove certain text/characters from the file.
Examples would be:
A) Remove all double, triple, multi-spaces and carriage returns
B) Change all uppercase characters to lowercase
C) Remove all punctuation
What i'm really aiming for is to be able to run the batch process in Adobe, then have a javascript filter out all that junk within a file with X amount of lines, not just one.
Here is my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var str="Welcome to Microsoft! Microsoft Microsoft";
var stringToBeFound = 'Microsoft'
var ReplaceString = 'site'
document.write(str.replace(stringToBeFound , ReplaceString ));
</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
I'trying to use a regExp in Javascript to replace any all upper case word in a string by the same word having only its first letter in upper case.
This expression detects the words:
I have a validation regular expression: [?&-#$%():;,._ 0-9a-zA-Z] in a hundreds of pages in edit boxes. Is there anyway I can on-the-fly add two items to this list: (after a page loads)
1) A single quote : '
2) A double quote : "
Sort of like a search and replace for the ENTIRE form (html document).
I am a beginner in programming however I am close to completing this task for my uni course and I know what method is needed "toLowerCase()" yet I am not sure on where it needs to be placed. :confused: If i paste in the question and then the coding I have done so far to discover if string s appears in any of the URLs in the array pages. Gives an alert of s together with 'found' or 'not found' as for find1C. [Note that the search should be case insensitive so that 'lboro' and 'Lboro' and 'LBORO' would all be found in [URL]... all remaining functions should also be case insensitive in this way]

What's the best way to search all visible text on a page and do a find eplace on a string?
I've seen all sorts of ways to do it by tag type or ID... but I want to scan the entire page.
My page populates a table with a list of names and other information from a
JavaScript object. I receive changes (adds, change & delete) to that list,
convert it into a JavaScript object. I do understand how to add the new
names to the list.
I have 3 questions:
1) How can I search through the table rows to find the rows to be changed
or removed?
2) How can I resort the table, so the names continue to appear in
alphabetical order.
3) How can change or remove data in the cells, once I've found the
appropriate row?
i have a implementation where i need to perform a search and replace. i will try to explain to the best of my ability. i have a variable, var a = "THIS IS SOME SOME TEXT";
then i have another array variable, var b = new Array(); which contains elements in key=value format eg. SOME=NEWSOME so what i need to do is, i need to loop through this array and if SOME exists in var a, then i need to replace it with NEWSOME. so for each value before =, if it exists in var a replace it with whats after =. and replace only once, so if SOME exists multiple times just replace the first occurence.
so essentially my final string would be, THIS IS NEWSOME SOME TEXT.
I want to change this code so that I can have multiple word variables I can change, possibly separated by comas I guess?.. Open to other idea's as well. Do you also know how I can make it so that it's NOT case sensitive? Code:

I need to search and replace patterns in web pages, but I
can't find a way even after reading the ad hoc chapter in New Rider's
"Inside JavaScript".
Here's what I want to do:
function filter() {
var items = new Array("John", "Jane");
for (x = 0; x < items.length; x++) {
//Doesn't work
pattern = '/' + items[x] + '/'
//Doesn't work either
document.body = document.body.replace(pattern,"IGNORED");
}
ie., create an array of items to look for in the BODY section of the
page, and if any item exists, replace the item with IGNORED.
Anyone knows how to do this?
I have a large string, but need to search for a specific character and replace it only if it is between two other items. Examplemystring would be something like this<parent><child1>1 & 2</child1><child2>1 & 2</child2><child3>1 & 2</child3></parent>I need to replace the & symbol in child2, but not 1 or 3. I am trying to figure out how to replace just any & signs in child2, but I need to leave them alone in child 1 and 3.I know I can do a replace(), but just not sure how to limit it to only the one I need
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn a string (that contain the Flash version installed), I want to replace:
all "," by "."
"win" by <nothing>
all spaces by <nothing>
So far I do it this way:
strFlashVer = strFlashVer.replace(/,/g, '.');
strFlashVer = strFlashVer.replace('win', '');
strFlashVer = strFlashVer.replace(/ /g, '');
but I'm sure theres better way (I'm not really good with reg exp).
I have around 100,000 html files that I need to do a search/replace on. I currently have the word "Manchester" in all of these files which needs replacing with the full file path location;

is it possible to combine the the following functions with each other in an array for example and if so, would someone be kind enough to show me how. the reasons are 1. to see if it is at all possible and 2. to learn so that I can combine further possibilities in the future. the first script compares user keywords from search mashines and the second replaces certain strings/paterns with others.

I'm looking to use JQuery to setup something like this:(Textbox input via search)(Multi-select select/option box here with results already populated)There are a large number of results already in the multi-select box and I'd like to narrow them down on the fly by text input into the "search" field. What would be the most efficient way to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently moved over from Protoype and was used to using the update() function to replace text within a node - something like
this:
PROTOTYPE
<p id='dText'>text to be replaced
$('dText').update('New text string')

Now it appears to me that in jQuery, there isn't an out of the box function to replace the contents of a node without also replacing the
node too, hence the reason I am chaining remove() and append().
I want to replace all text in the html that contains the word "Hello" to "Hi" (quotes not included and not case-sensitive). Here's what I've made:
if ($('body:contains("Hello")').length > 0) {
$("*").each(function () {
$('body').html($('body').html().replace('Hello','Hi'));
});}
Without the:
$("*").each(function () {
It only searches for the first word so I added the line above to search within all elements (If this is correct). But the problem is, I notice that the line I added seems to cause the page to run slower than usual. Is there any other way to do this?
Tried searching but couldn't seem to come up with the language to yield any relevant results. My problem is as follows:I have a block of links inside of which are < smaller > tags which hold a generated piece of text. When a user clicks on one of these links (a.clip) I need the text within #fade to be replaced with the text inside of the < smaller > tags within that link.This is the code I have which only partially works...
$(".clip").click(function(){
var title = $('smaller').html();
$('#fade').html(title);
