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.
<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 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:
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'.
questions raw = [ ["<Q1> Question", "choice1","choice2", "choice3"], ["<Q2> Question",
[Code]....
And I want to list all of the questions, but not the choices/answers. So far, I've managed to list just the questions, but because another function randomly sorts them, I need to sort them back into numerical order for a separate function (displaying the questions)
I use characters (>,^) at the front to separate them into different answer types (just to explain the code)
I try this to cut each string down so that they can be sorted numerically/alphebetically -
function linearlist() { var list = []; var tempStr = "";
[Code]....
But it doesn't like it - because "it has no method charAt"
Is it just that you have to put the [l] in every time you call a variable?
I want to be able to control the first three characters of an input string on a login form. If a user types GP15555 or JP15555 I want it to change to GPL5555 or JPL5555 respectively changing the "1" to an "L" on the prefix
heres my code
</script> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ function Login(form) {
So I want to be able to check the last 15 characters of a string for either <br /> or a space. I know how to do this with PHP but I have no clue how to do this with Javascript and Google is failing me. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Example string: var string = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
I'm assuming this will be done with lastIndexOf but I do not know how to do it. So to reiterate, I want to check to see if either a space exists, or <br />, delete everything after that, and return the string. So the output of the example string would be...
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo
This may seem like an odd question but I was wondering if there was a way to use javascript to dynamically inter space characters in a string with other characters.
I am trying to check for Arabic characters in a string using Regular expressions. This should return true, as the string in the str variable is indeed Arabic character. But it returns false.
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.
I need to declare a variable (astString) and initialise it with a string of asterisks. astString needs to be the same length as another variable (otherString). otherString changes it value regularly so I think I need to use the .length property in some way but I can't see how
I'm writing a piece of JS code that returns a result of true if the pattern appears in string as a substring (case sensitive) but would like to extend its functionality to returns true if all the individual characters of pattern appear in string (regardless of order).
Is it possible to get the size of a message (<string>) in kb rather than counting the characters?Note: Some characters could be double byte such as Chinese characters.Reasoning: I need to check if my message is over 10kb and if so split appropriately into chunks of <= 10kb.
I'm writing a piece of JS code that returns a result of true if the pattern appears in string as a substring (case sensitive) but would like to extend its functionality to returns true if all the individual characters of pattern appear in string (regardless of order).
For example:This is what the program currently does:
match1("adipisci","pis") returns true
Whereas I would now like it to do this:
match1("adipisci","sciip") returns true match2("adipisci","sciipx") returns false because x does not exist in variable match3["adipisci","adipisci"] returns true in array 1 and 2 if "sciip" is searched match4["adipisci","adipiscix"] returns false in array 1 and true in array 2 if "sciipx" is searched
I am having difficulty implementing this into my code... this is what I've done so far:
var pages=[ "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.", "Nulla imperdiet laoreet neque.",
