asp_web_howto thread: ASP scripting in JavaScript


Message #1 by "Brian" <bgmst5@y...> on Wed, 21 Mar 2001 15:58:53
Hello,



Instead of using the default language for ASP, i want to use JavaScript.  

However, I am not sure how i can do string manipulation.  I basically want 

to use the replace function in vbscript, but some of the functionality of 

the page doesn't work so well in vbscript or i would change over.



What i want to do is convert a value of "Full Name Group" 

to "Full_Name_Group".



Does anybody know how to?



Thanks,



Brian Mains

you'll have to write your own replace function



use the indexOf method to find the value, then use the substr method to chop

off everything that precedes it, and store in one variable, and again to

chop off everything that comes after it, and stor in another variable.  Then

create a new string by appending the two strings with the new value

inbetween them.  If you're going to have multiple occurances, then you'll

need to have some kind of loop as well.

1. Create a JavaScript regular expression

2. Use the string.replace method with that regular expression



var strMyString = "Full Name Group";

var regMySearchRegX = /_/gi; // find all instances of whatever's between the

two /

strMyString = strMyString.replace(regMySearchRegX, "_"); //replace the ones

found with _



Now strMyString = "Full_Name_Group"
