regexp looping and logic in javascript

Not certain if this can be done in regexp under javascript, but thought it would be interesting to see if it is possible.
So thought I would clean up a piece of html to remove most tags, literally just dropping them, so <H1><img><a href ....>. And that would be relatively simple (well, stole the basis from another post, thanks karim79 Remove HTML Tags in Javascript with Regex).
function(inString, maxlength, callback){
console.log("Sting is " + inString)
console.log("Its " + inString.length)
var regex = /(<([^>]+)>)/ig
var outString = inString.replace(regex, "");
console.log("No HTML sting " + outString);
if ( outString.length < maxlength){
callback(outString)
} else {
console.log("Lets cut first bit")
}
}
But then I started thinking, is there a way where I can control regex execution. So lets say that I want to keep certain tabs, like b,br,i and maybe change H1-6 to b. So in pseudo code, something like:
for ( var i in inString.regex.hits ) {
if ( hits[i] == H1 ) {
hits[i] = b;
}
}
The issue is that I want the text thats not HTML tags to stay as it is, and I want it to just cut out by default. One option would of course be to change the ones I want to keep. Say change <b> to [[b]], once that is done to all the ones of interest. Then put them back to <b> once all unknown have been removed. So like this (only for b, and not certain the code below would work):
function(inString, maxlength, callback){
console.log("Sting is " + inString)
console.log("Its " + inString.length)
var regex-remHTML = /(<([^>]+)>)/ig
var regex-hideB = /(<b>)/ig
var regex-showB = /([b])/ig
var outString = inString.replace(regex-hideB, "[b]");
outString = outString.replace(regex-remHTML, "");
outString = outString.replace(regex-showB, "<b>");
console.log("No HTML sting " + outString);
if ( outString.length < maxlength){
callback(outString)
} else {
console.log("Lets cut first bit")
}
}
But would it be possible to be smarter, writing cod ethat says here is a peice of HTML tag, run this code against the match.

As Tim Biegeleisen sai in its comment, maybe a better solution could be using a parser instead of a Regex...
By the way, if you want to control what is going to be changed by the regex you can pass a callback to the String.prototype.replace:
var input = "<div><h1>CIAO Bello</h1></div>";
var output = input.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/gi, (val) => {
if(val.indexOf("div") > -1) {
return "";
}
return val;
})
;
console.log("output", output);

Make a mountain out of a molehill by replacing it with JavaScript

I want to replace multiple words on a website with other words. That is, I am interested in finding all instances of a source word and replacing it with a target word.
Sample Cases:
Source | Target
Molehill => Mountain
Green => Grey
Google => <a href="http://google.com">
Sascha => Monika
Football => Soccer

This is somewhat of a half answer. It shows the basic process, but also illustrates some of the inherent difficulties in a process like this. Detecting capitalization and properly formatting the replacements would be a bit intensive (probably utilizing something like this on a case-by-case basis How can I test if a letter in a string is uppercase or lowercase using JavaScript?). Also, when dealing with text nodes, innerHTML isn't an option, so the google replacement comes out as plain text instead of HTML.
TLDR - If you have another way to do this that doesn't involve javascript, do it that way.
var body = document.querySelector('body')
function textNodesUnder(el){
var n, a=[], walk=document.createTreeWalker(el,NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT,null,false);
while(n=walk.nextNode()) a.push(n);
return a;
}
function doReplacements(txt){
txt = txt.replace(/sascha/gi, 'monika')
txt = txt.replace(/mountain/gi, 'molehill')
txt = txt.replace(/football/gi, 'soccer')
txt = txt.replace(/google/gi, 'google')
console.log(txt)
return txt
}
var textnodes = textNodesUnder(body),
len = textnodes.length,
i = -1, node
console.log(textnodes)
while(++i < len){
node = textnodes[i]
node.textContent = doReplacements(node.textContent)
}
<div>Mountains of Sascha</div>
<h1>Playing football, google it.</h1>
<p>Sascha Mountain football google</p>

Here is the JS:
function replaceWords () {
var toReplace = [
["Green","Grey"],
["Google","<a href='http://google.com'>"]
];
var input = document.getElementById("content").innerHTML;
console.log("Input: " + input);
for (var i = 0; i < toReplace.length; i++) {
var reg = new RegExp(toReplace[i][0],"g");
input = input.replace(reg,toReplace[i][1]);
}
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = input;
};
replaceWords();

Convert comma's into periods js

So I'm trying to make a calculation but it obviously wont calculate with ',' in the numbers. I want to change these vars and make the ',' into '.' using javascript
oldSum.value = '48,35'
newSum.innerHTML = '€43,40'
var oldSumPre = oldSum.value;
var oldStripped = oldSumPre.replace(/,/g, ".");
var newSumPre = newSum.innerHTML;
var newStripped = newSumPre.replace(/,/g, ".");
bedrag.innerHTML = oldStripped - newStripped;
Is what Im doing right now.. but it changes bedrag.innerHTML into NaN

var str = "R,e,p,l,a,c,e";
var res = str.replace(/,/g, ".");
alert (res);

Suppose your variable is vNum. You need to replace all commas with '.' using this
vNum = vNum.replace(",", ".");

In general you could use a localization / internationalization library, which will solve some other tasks you are likely to run into as well.
For example this one:
https://github.com/jquery/globalize/blob/master/doc/api/number/parse-number.md
Snippet:
Globalize.locale( "es" );
Globalize.parseDate( "3,14" ); // 3.14

Replace array-mapped variables with the actual variable name/string?

I am trying to edit a Greasemonkey/jQuery script. I can't post the link here.
The code is obfuscated and compressed with minify.
It starts like this:
var _0x21e9 = ["\x67\x65\x74\x4D\x6F\x6E\x74\x68", "\x67\x65\x74\x55\x54\x43\x44\x61\x74\x65", ...
After "decoding" it, I got this:
var _0x21e9=["getMonth","getUTCDate","getFullYear", ...
It is a huge list (500+ ). Then, it has some variables like this:
month = date[_0x21e9[0]](), day = date[_0x21e9[1]](), ...
_0x21e9[0] is getMonth, _0x21e9[1] is getUTCDate, etc.
Is it possible to replace the square brackets with the actual variable name? How?
I have little knowledge in javascript/jQuery and can not "read" the code the way it is right now.
I just want to use some functions from this huge script and remove the others I do not need.
Update: I tried using jsbeautifier.org as suggested here and in the duplicated question but nothing changed, except the "indent".
It did not replace the array variables with the decoded names.
For example:
jsbeautifier still gives: month = date[_0x21e9[0]]().
But I need: month = date["getMonth"]().
None of the online deobfuscators seem to do this, How can I?
Is there a way for me to share the code with someone, at least part of it? I read I can not post pastebin, or similar here. I can not post it the full code here.
Here is another part of the code:
$(_0x21e9[8] + vid)[_0x21e9[18]]();
[8] is "." and [18] is "remove". Manually replacing it gives a strange result.

I haven't seen any online deobfuscator that does this yet, but the principle is simple.
Construct a text filter that parses the "key" array and then replaces each instance that that array is referenced, with the appropriate array value.
For example, suppose you have a file, evil.js that looks like this (AFTER you have run it though jsbeautifier.org with the Detect packers and obfuscators? and the Unescape printable chars... options set):
var _0xf17f = ["(", ")", 'div', "createElement", "id", "log", "console"];
var _0x41dcx3 = eval(_0xf17f[0] + '{id: 3}' + _0xf17f[1]);
var _0x41dcx4 = document[_0xf17f[3]](_0xf17f[2]);
var _0x41dcx5 = _0x41dcx3[_0xf17f[4]];
window[_0xf17f[6]][_0xf17f[5]](_0x41dcx5);
In that case, the "key" variable would be _0xf17f and the "key" array would be ["(", ")", ...].
The filter process would look like this:
Extract the key name using text processing on the js file. Result: _0xf17f
Extract the string src of the key array. Result:
keyArrayStr = '["(", ")", \'div\', "createElement", "id", "log", "console"]';
In javascript, we can then use .replace() to parse the rest of the JS src. Like so:
var keyArrayStr = '["(", ")", \'div\', "createElement", "id", "log", "console"]';
var restOfSrc = "var _0x41dcx3 = eval(_0xf17f[0] + '{id: 3}' + _0xf17f[1]);\n"
+ "var _0x41dcx4 = document[_0xf17f[3]](_0xf17f[2]);\n"
+ "var _0x41dcx5 = _0x41dcx3[_0xf17f[4]];\n"
+ "window[_0xf17f[6]][_0xf17f[5]](_0x41dcx5);\n"
;
var keyArray = eval (keyArrayStr);
//-- Note that `_0xf17f` is the key name we already determined.
var keyRegExp = /_0xf17f\s*\[\s*(\d+)\s*\]/g;
var deObsTxt = restOfSrc.replace (keyRegExp, function (matchStr, p1Str) {
return '"' + keyArray[ parseInt(p1Str, 10) ] + '"';
} );
console.log (deObsTxt);
if you run that code, you get:
var _0x41dcx3 = eval("(" + '{id: 3}' + ")");
var _0x41dcx4 = document["createElement"]("div");
var _0x41dcx5 = _0x41dcx3["id"];
window["console"]["log"](_0x41dcx5);
-- which is a bit easier to read/understand.
I've also created an online page that takes JS source and does all 3 remapping steps in a slightly more automated and robust manner. You can see it at:
jsbin.com/hazevo
(Note that that tool expects the source to start with the "key" variable declaration, like your code samples do)

#Brock Adams solution is brilliant, but there is a small bug: it doesn't take into account simple quoted vars.
Example:
var _0xbd34 = ["hello ", '"my" world'];
(function($) {
alert(_0xbd34[0] + _0xbd34[1])
});
If you try to decipher this example, it will result on this:
alert("hello " + ""my" world")
To resolve this, just edit the replacedSrc.replace into #Brock code:
replacedSrc = replacedSrc.replace (nameRegex, function (matchStr, p1Str) {
var quote = keyArry[parseInt (p1Str, 10)].indexOf('"')==-1? '"' : "'";
return quote + keyArry[ parseInt (p1Str, 10) ] + quote;
} );
Here you have a patched version.

for (var i = 0; i < _0x21e9.length; i++) {
var funcName = _0x21e9[i];
_0x21e9[funcName] = funcName;
}
this will add all the function names as keys to the array. allowing you to do
date[_0x21e9["getMonth"]]()

Google Apps Script - Dynamically Add Remove UiApp Form Elements

I am looking to create a Ui form section in my application that will Dynamically Add Remove UiApp Form Elements. I was trying to use the example from App Script Tutorials here
This example works great as far as performing the add remove elements, but when I use the submit button to capture the values, it submits as a JSON.stringify format. When I just want to capture the values only in a text or string format that will be added to a html email.
If there is way to convert JSON.stringify to text, string or get the values only in format, I will continue to use this example.
If not I was wonder if the following Javascript HTML code can be convert into GAS code and able to capture the values for each entry in a HTML email template to using in MailApp.
http://jsfiddle.net/g59K7/
Any suggestions, examples or adjustments to the codes would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

If you don't want the result to be in a JSON object, then you can adjust the _processSubmittedData(e) function. Right now he has it writing everything to an Object, which is fine. All you have to do is have a way to parse it:
function _processSubmittedData(e){
var result = {};
result.groupName = e.parameter.groupName;
var numMembers = parseInt(e.parameter.table_tag);
result.members = [];
//Member info array
for(var i=1; i<=numMembers; i++){
var member = {};
member.firstName = e.parameter['fName'+i];
member.lastName = e.parameter['lName'+i];
member.dateOfBirth = e.parameter['dob'+i];
member.note = e.parameter['note'+i];
result.members.push(member);
}
var htmlBody = 'Group Name: ' + result.groupName;
for(var a in result.members) {
var member = result.members[a];
var date = member.dateOfBirth;
var last = member.lastName;
var first = member.firstName;
var note = member.note;
htmlBody += first + ' ' + last + ' was born on ' + date + ' and has this note: ' + note;
}
MailApp.sendEmail('fakeEmail#fake.com',"Test Subject Line", "", {htmlBody: htmlBody});
}
