RegExps : Grab Number Inside Of String
Oct 18, 2007
I'm looking for a way to grab a number from a string, although this number
is not at either end of the string.
Here is the string in question: var el = "v4Function_Name('argument3')"
Here is a substring that returns the number ( the 3 ) successfully...
var number = el.substring(el.lastIndexOf("ent")+3,el.length-2);
Seems very ineffecient to do it this way, and better to find a lean elegant
way using replace(); How does one go about getting a value inside of a
string with regular expressions? .. or is there a better way?
Here are a couple of the many expressions I have failed with...
var pat = /^[^ent][0-9]*$"/;
var pat = /v4Function_Name('argument([^0-9]+)'/;
var number = el.replace(pat,"");

I'm trying to get a regExp to stop at the end of a css declaration in
the example below. I've tried many variations with no success. What I need
it to return is just the first element like this:
#myElement1 { display: block; width: 100%; padding: 5px 0 5px 10px; }
But it grabs both instead like this:
#myElement1 { display: block; width: 100%; padding: 5px 0 5px 10px; }
#myElement2 { display: block; width: 100%; padding: 5px 0 5px 10px; }
Does anyone know how to make it stop at the closing bracket of the first
style? Here is one example of the code I have tried.
<script type="text/javascript">
function alertReg(){
var element=document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML;
var pattern= /#myElement {[^$]*}/;
var patternMatch= element.match(pattern);
if(patternMatch){
alert(patternMatch);
}
}
</script>
In the HTML I have this div.
<div id="myDiv">
#myElement1 { display: block; width: 100%; padding: 5px 0 5px 10px; }
#myElement2 { display: block; width: 100%; padding: 5px 0 5px 10px; }
</div>
Any suggestions welcome.

When I used toFixed() method on a number, I thought that this method round a number to a specified approximation, but I got a surprising result, the number became string! 15.23689.toFixed(2) ==> "15.24". So does it convert the number into string?

I'm using a datepicker and I'm using $(this).html() to get the number of the day inside of a TD. What I want to do is take that number and add one to it. Every time I use var thenum = $(this).html()+1
I get something like 21 instead of 3. Is this possible? I've even tried using $(this).html().toString()

I'm working on an exercise I need to have finished pretty soon. The concept is simple: online bookstore with cart etc. It's written on php, using JS and mysql.
Each time I view a book's details, I can add it to my cart, where I can also alter it's quantity.
The code for my cart is this:
PHP Code:
As you can see, each time I choose a book to add it to my cart, a new span will be created, to hold the info of this book. What I need to do with the ManageItem js function, is to update the total cost at the bottom of the page, but I can't seem to be getting anywhere.
Here is what I've done so far:

Now I need to convert a number(decimal) into a hex.string. I want to pass my blurit() two colors and have it start at color one and step its way to color two based on a determined step. I need to convert the new color to a hex string to be used to control the color of text. This is a rough example of what I am doing:
function blurit(color1, color2) {
colorstep= (color2-color1) /10; clr=color;
for (lp=0; lp<10; lp++) {
test.innerHTML+= '<font color="#' +dex(clr) +'">'
clr+= colorstep;
}}

I'm trying to write code to swap images in a list. It's going to be a star rating control that highlights stars as you hover over a star. each image in the list has an onmouseover="highlight(this)" function and a unique id of 1 - 10.
Code:
function highlight(star) {
var num = Number(star.id);
for (i = 0; i < num; i++)
[Code].....
I'm trying to convert the number 'i' used by the for loop to a string so it can be used by the getElementById() method to select the stars to be highlighted. But my intellisense is telling me there is a problem with that line. I tried
var id = String(i+1);
but this didn't work either.
what have I gotten wrong?

How can I check if a number exists by itself in this string by using
the RegExp object?
var mystring = "11,111,01,011";
var match = "1";
var re = new RegExp( match );
var isFound = re.test( mystring ) );
Running this code returns 'true' which is not what I want since number
one doesn't exist by itself. I need to use the "match" variable since
it will change depending on user input.
I can only get it to work without variables in the expression. E.g.
var re = new RegExp( /1/ );

Javascript variables are loosely typed: the conversion between a
string and a number happens automatically. Since plus (+) is also
used as in string concatenation, `` Ƈ' + 1 '' is equal to `` ཇ' '': the
String deciding what + does. To overcome this, first convert the
string to a number. For example:
