How To Search An Array
Apr 23, 2011
I have the following array in a chatbot
Code:
Sites=new Array("alcatraz,California in the USA","eiffel tower,Paris in France","empire state building,New York in the USA");
This piece of code searches the first part of the array and triggers the second part as a response. That all works fine. However, could it be rewritten in a way to eliminate the bailout response of "I don't know." to where it just skips over it if no match is found.I have more If statements further down the script that I want to use instead of the one bailout response. If nothing matches I have one big catchall to respond back with at the very end.
Code:
if (input.search("where is")!= -1)
{document.result.result.value = "I don't know.";
for (i=0; i<Sites.length; i++) {
[code]....

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.

Is it possible to search an array without looping through all the elements?
hoping for something like this;
myarray.exists("one")
which may return the element number or a true or false depending if the element being searched exists.

I have an array in which each element is a long string of various values separated by a particular character.I want to be able to search the array using the first value of each element to get the index.I cannot see how to do this so I have started to create a function for this.I want to take the original array, split out the value into another array and search the new array.I can then use the index returned to retrieve the full string from the original array.However I am having a problem when trying to set the new array and I do not know enough JS to understand what is going wrong.Here is the code:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var test= new array();[code].......
I am getting the correct result in "title".I have tried setting "test[0]=title;" with an if on the first pass and then using ".push" but to no good effect.if there is a better way to achieve my objective or is this a reasonable solution

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).

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.",
[code]....

I have 4 arrays that all contain data linked by the index. I have 3 drop down boxes on a web page that give the user 3 ways to search for data. The top one is mandatory the other two are optional. I've managed to create the code to search using the mandatory box but cant figure out how to expand the search.
Here is the function that deals with the search data:
function findFlights(){
var yourAirline = readTheAirline();
var result = 'Here are your flights <BR>';
var choose = 'Choose your destination';
for (var index = 0; index < flightTimes.length; index++){
var flight = flightDestinations[index];
var airline = flightOperators[index];
if (yourDestination == flight){
var b = flightTimes[index];
var c = flightDestinations[index];
var d = flightOperators[index];
var e = flightFares[index];
var message = b + ' to ' + c + ' operated by ' + d + '. £' + e + '.';
result = result + message + '<BR>';
}if (yourDestination == choose){
result = 'Please choose a destination city from the destination menu and then click Find flights again.';
}}displayMessage(result);}

I have created a similar smart search like yellowpages:[URL]... Here is the problem I have with mine:

I have a website that I'm designing where I have the need to search multiple sites at specific times. By this I mean that In some cases, we would want to search only the internet using google, or only search the site that I've created (which currently uses the jse_search.js solution), or only our company's website.
I currently have four different search boxes that will search either the internet, the internal site, a separate internal site, or a third-party website, which all working fine. The problem is that the search boxes take up quite a bit of space, and the layout is becoming cumbersome. Is there a way in Javascript I could use a single search box and a drop-down list to select which method to use? The code I'm currently using is below. With the exception of the Google search function, I've modified some of the site names to general site names and paths to preserve the company's anonymity:
Code in the <head> tag:
<script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript" src="jse_form.js">
</script>
Code in the <body> tag:
<!--Begin Internal Site Search 1!-->

I have a page built in Sharepoint. I need to create a little search box within that page so people can search for names on that same page. It's a page with a lot of text, hence why the search feature is needed.
I can only use an XML editor.
