I think there is some platform newline char issue. how to do this using jquery?
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.
How can I strip out the dirty characters shown in textarea after to extract the tags from a webpage and before submitting to another page?
By dirty characters I take in mind the characters shown in the image below.
- Replacing double space with a unique space
- Replacing "squares" with a blank space
- delete contents between "<!--" and "-->" or "<?" and "?>"
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...
Consider the folowing html:
<div class="date">2010-01-30</div>
Using the .replaceWith Method how can I select the " -01- " and replace with "<span>JAN</span>"
PHP has a function called nl2br() which takes all the newlines in a
string and turns them into break tags <br>. I need to do the same in
javascript. Is this about right? I'm not sure how one is supposed to
reference invisible characters in Javascript strings. I took an example
on the web and tried to modify it to my uses.
function nl2br_js(myString) {
var regX = /
/gi ;
s = new String(myString);
s = s.replace(regX, "<br />
");
return s;
}
After looking around quite a bit using Google, I still couldn't find
out what the gi in the above example is for. What is it?

I need to replace custom tags to spans. I have:
Code:
<block style="color:blue" class="block01" limit="100">This is a block</block>
I need to fetch the attributes and add them to a span, like:
Code:
<span style="color:blue" class="block01" limit="100">This is a block</span>
There's a few on the page so I need to change all of them some may have many attributes.
When trying to emulate php's nl2br() function in javascript, I ran into something quite disturbing.
Code:
cms.t.value = cms.t.value.replace(/
/gi, '<br />
');
Using this piece of code, I was really surprised that the newlines weren't preceded by <br />, but by <br>. I really don't understand why that would happen. Why can't I decide my own replacement string? .

This is driving me nuts :) I need to replace all instances of "zz" with 'Z'. I can easily replace other strings such as a = a.replace(/mickeymouse/, "Z"); but a = a.replace(/zz/, "Z"); doesn't work. Must be a double characer thing?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to make one regex to replace a space with " " and a tab with " "?
Currently I'm using two regex's with string.replace( ... ).replace( ... ), but that means it has to run through the string twice. Any way to do what I want in one regex?
I have been using code such as
a=a.replace(/ /g,'');
b=b.replace(/;,/g,';');
to eliminate spaces in a string, as well as converting things like ";," to ";" in strings.Several instances of these replacements will have to occur in the strings.Unfortunately, I cannot make it work for converting two commas into one or for eliminating line breaks. Does anyone know how to do this (preferably without using "while")?
