I am using javascript to search for the '*' character in a string (ie. 'username*:') but using search('*') does not work. How do I search for it since the search function takes a regexp argument and * messes that up?
View 2 Replies View Relatedthis function is supposed to search a string for decimals and tell me how many of them it has found, but for some reason, it's not doing it right. since the "period" character is a special character in regular expressions,I went ahead and escaped it, but it's still doesn't work.
function ImprovedFormatAmount(ElementId)
{
var oElement = document.getElementById(ElementId);
var ElementValue = oElement.value;
var DecimalRegXp = /./g;
var OutputValue = ElementValue;
if (OutputValue.length > 0)
{alert (OutputValue.search(DecimalRegXp));}
}

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.

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
