How would you search through an entire string and display each item found in a div?
The thing I'm searching for is a license code which starts with NVOS and ends with ". I'd like to extract the entire code except for the "
The thing I want to parse would be like NVOS-ABCD-EFG-HIJK-LM52P" but I don't want the " included.
Here is what I'm trying:
var myRe = /^NVOS[^"]*/g;
var myArray = myRe.exec(document.getElementById("txt").value);
console.log(myArray)
for (i in myArray){
console.log(i)
}
Not working.
Use a regular expression.
var myString = document.body.innerHTML // substitute for your string
var regex = /NVOS[A-Z\-]+/g // /g (global) modifier searches for all matches
var matches = myString.match(regex);
for (var i=0; i<matches.length; i++)
console.log( matches[i] )
// NVOS-ABCD-EFG-HIJK-LM
// NVOS-ABCD-EFG-HIJK-LM
lests say that your string is str.
//check if the code even have this characters /x22 is for = " //
var newString = str.substr(str.indexOf("NVOS"),str.lastIndexOf("\x22") -1);
If you want to display each section in the console, then you could do it like this:
var licenseString = "NVOS-ABCD-EFG-HIJK-LM52P";
var stringSplit = licenseString.split("-");
for(var part in stringSplit) {
console.log(stringSplit[part]);
}

I'm facing some problem while trying to send text to some spelling API.
The API return the corrections based on the words index, for example:
sentence:
"hello hoow are youu"
So the API index the words by numbers like that and return the correction based on that index:
0 1 2 3
hello hoow are youu
API Response that tell me which words to correct:
1: how
3: you
On the code I using split command to break the sentence into words array so I will be able to replace the misspelled words by their index.
string.split(" ");
My problem is that the API trim multiple spaces between words into one space, and by doing that the API words index not match my index. (I would like to preserve the spaces on the final output)
Example of the problem, sentence with 4 spaces between words:
Hello howw are youu?
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
hello hoow are youu
I thought about looping the words array and determine if the element is word or space and then create something new array like that:
indexed_words[0] = hello
indexed_words[0_1] = space
indexed_words[0_2] = space
indexed_words[0_3] = space
indexed_words[0_4] = space
indexed_words[0_5] = space
indexed_words[0_6] = space
indexed_words[0_7] = space
indexed_words[1] = how
indexed_words[2] = are
indexed_words[3] = you?
That way I could replace the misspelled words easily and than rebuild the sentence back with join command but the problem but the problem that I cannot use non-numeric indexes (its mixed up the order of the array)
Any idea how I can keep the formatting (spaces) but still correct the words?
Thanks
in that case you have very simple solution:L
$(document).ready(function(){
var OriginalSentence="howw are you?"
var ModifiedSentence="";
var splitstring=OriginalSentence.split(' ')
$.each(splitstring,function(i,v){
if(v!="")
{
//pass this word to your api and appedn it to sentance
ModifiedSentence+=APIRETURNVALUE//api return corrected value;
}
else{
ModifiedSentence+=v;
}
});
alert(ModifiedSentence);
});
Please review this one:
For string manipulation like this, I would highly recommend you to use Regex
Use online regex editor for faster try and error like here https://regex101.com/.
here I use /\w+/g to match every words if you want to ignore 1 or two words we can use /\w{2,}/g or something like that.
var str = "Hello howw are youu?";
var re = /\w+/g
var words = str.match(re);
console.log("Returning valus")
words.forEach(function(word, index) {
console.log(index + " -> " + word);
})
Correction
Just realize that you need to keep spacing as it is, please try this one:
I used your approach to change all to space. create array for its modified version then send to your API (I dunno that part). Then get returned data from API, reconvert it back to its original formating string.
var ori = `asdkhaskd asdkjaskdjaksjd askdjaksdjalsd a ksjdhaksjdhasd asdjkhaskdas`;
function replaceMeArr(str, match, replace) {
var s = str,
reg = match || /\s/g,
rep = replace || ` space `;
return s.replace(reg, rep).split(/\s/g);
}
function replaceMeStr(arr, match, replace) {
var a = arr.join(" "),
reg = match || /\sspace\s/g,
rep = replace || " ";
return a.replace(reg, rep);
}
console.log(`ori1: ${ori}`);
//can use it like this
var modified = replaceMeArr(ori);
console.log(`modi: ${modified.join(' ')}`);
//put it back
var original = replaceMeStr(modified);
console.log(`ori2: ${original}`);
Updated
var str = "Hello howw are youu?";
var words = str.split(" ");
// Getting an array without spaces/empty values
// send it to your API call
var requestArray = words.filter(function(word){
if (word) {
return word;
}
});
console.log("\nAPI Response that tell me which words to correct:");
console.log("6: how\n8: you");
var response = {
"1": "how",
"3": "you"
}
//As you have corrected words index, Replace those words in your "requestArray"
for (var key in response) {
requestArray[key] = response[key];
}
//now we have array of non-empty & correct spelled words. we need to put back empty (space's) value back in between this array
var count = 0;
words.forEach(function(word, index){
if (word) {
words[index] = requestArray[count];
count++;
}
})
console.log(words);
Correct me, if i was wrong.
Hope this helps :)

Given this query string:
?cgan=1&product_cats=mens-jeans,shirts&product_tags=fall,classic-style&attr_color=charcoal,brown&attr_size=large,x-small&cnep=0
How can I extract the values from only these param types 'product_cat, product_tag, attr_color, attr_size' returning only 'mens-jeans,shirts,fall,classic-style,charcoal,brown,large,x-small?
I tried using a non-capturing group for the param types and capturing group for just the values, but its returning both.
(?:product_cats=|product_tags=|attr\w+=)(\w|,|-)+
You can collect tha values using
(?:product_cats|product_tags|attr\w+)=([\w,-]+)
Mind that a character class ([\w,-]+) is much more efficient than a list of alternatives ((\w|,|-)*), and we avoid the issue of capturing just the last single character.
Here is a code sample:
var re = /(?:product_cats|product_tags|attr\w+)=([\w,-]+)/g;
var str = '?cgan=1&product_cats=mens-jeans,shirts&product_tags=fall,classic-style&attr_color=charcoal,brown&attr_size=large,x-small&cnep=0';
var res = [];
while ((m = re.exec(str)) !== null) {
res.push(m[1]);
}
document.getElementById("res").innerHTML = res.join(",");
<div id="res"/>
You can always use a jQuery method param.
You can use following simple regex :
/&\w+=([\w,-]+)/g
Demo
You need to return the result of capture group and split them with ,.
var mystr="?cgan=1&product_cats=mens-jeans,shirts&product_tags=fall,classic-style&attr_color=charcoal,brown&attr_size=large,x-small&cnep=0
";
var myStringArray = mystr.match(/&\w+=([\w,-]+)/g);
var arrayLength = myStringArray.length-1; //-1 is because of that the last match is 0
var indices = [];
for (var i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++) {
indices.push(myStringArray[i].split(','));
}
Something like
/(?:product_cats|product_tag|attr_color|attr_size)=[^,]+/g
(?:product_cats|product_tag|attr_color|attr_size) will match product_cats or product_tag or attr_color or attr_size)
= Matches an equals
[^,] Negated character class matches anything other than a ,. Basically it matches till the next ,
Regex Demo
Test
string = "?cgan=1&product_cats=mens-jeans,shirts&product_tags=fall,classic-style&attr_color=charcoal,brown&attr_size=large,x-small&cnep=0";
matched = string.match(/(product_cats|product_tag|attr_color|attr_size)=[^,]+/g);
for (i in matched)
{
console.log(matched[i].split("=")[1]);
}
will produce output as
mens-jeans
charcoal
large
There is no need for regular expressions. just use splits and joins.
var s = '?cgan=1&product_cats=mens-jeans,shirts&product_tags=fall,classic-style&attr_color=charcoal,brown&attr_size=large,x-small&cnep=0';
var query = s.split('?')[1],
pairs = query.split('&'),
allowed = ['product_cats', 'product_tags', 'attr_color', 'attr_size'],
results = [];
$.each(pairs, function(i, pair) {
var key_value = pair.split('='),
key = key_value[0],
value = key_value[1];
if (allowed.indexOf(key) > -1) {
results.push(value);
}
});
console.log(results.join(','));
($.each is from jQuery, but can easily be replaced if jQuery is not around)
String replace is not working in javascript
My string = 'Get Flat 50% off on Tees Purchase above Rs. 1200';
output string = 'get-flat-50-percent-off-on-tees-purchase-above-rs.-1200';
here is my js code.
var json, xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET","http://www.exmaple.com/api/v1.0/deal/deallimit/6/61f4279fb0cb4d4899810bef06539d06e349",true);
xhr.onload=function() {
var response=xhr.responseText;
var resultValue = JSON.parse(response);
var dealArray = resultValue['All deals'];
console.log(dealArray.length);
var i;
for (i = 0; i < dealArray.length; i++)
{
var key1 = 749;
var key2 = 29;
var orgProID = (dealArray[i]['productid']+dealArray[i]['productkey'])/key2;
var cat = dealArray[i]['categoryname'].toLowerCase();
var catReplace = cat.replace(" ","-");
var pro1 = dealArray[i]['productname'].toLowerCase();
var proReplace = pro1.replace('%','-percent');
var proReplace1 = proReplace.replace(" ","-");
console.log(catReplace+"/"+proReplace1);
if (dealArray[i]['price'] !=0) {
document.getElementById('appendDeals').innerHTML +="<tr><td class='dealName'>"+dealArray[i]['productname']+ " # Rs."+dealArray[i]['price']+"</td><td class='buyDeal'>BUY</td></tr>";
}
else{
document.getElementById('appendDeals').innerHTML +="<tr><td class='dealName'>"+dealArray[i]['productname']+"</td><td class='buyDeal'>BUY</td></tr>";
}
}
}
xhr.send(null);
But when i check in console log i found
get-upto 50-percent off on health & personal care products
all the places are not replaced by '-'
How to do this.
Your code isnt working because .replace() doesnt do the replacement globally inside the string. You need to set the g flag to make it work globally.
Follow this simple algorithm for getting the string converted as you want:
Make the whole string .toLowerCase()
.replace() the % with -percent
.replace() the space with a -, globally
Working Code Snippet:
var myString = 'Get Flat 50% off on Tees Purchase above Rs. 1200';
// apply the algorithm here:
var outputString = myString.toLowerCase().replace('%', '-percent').replace(/ /g,"-");
alert(outputString);
Readup: .replace() | MDN, .toLowerCase() | MDN
You need to use replace in a global sense e.g.
var proReplace = pro1.replace(/%/g,'-percent');
var proReplace1 = proReplace.replace(/ /g,'-');
Have a look at JavaScript Replace.
The proReplace.replace(" ","-"); only works for the first occurrence of substring. Take a look at here Replace multiple characters in one replace call
I found a regular expression that is suppose to capture URLs but it doesn't capture some URLs.
$("#links").change(function() {
//var matches = new array();
var linksStr = $("#links").val();
var pattern = new RegExp("^(https?:\/\/)?([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})([\/\w \.-]*)*\/?$","g");
var matches = linksStr.match(pattern);
for(var i = 0; i < matches.length; i++) {
alert(matches[i]);
}
})
It doesn't capture this url (I need it to):
http://www.wupload.com/file/63075291/LlMlTL355-EN6-SU8S.rar
But it captures this
http://www.wupload.com
Several things:
The main reason it didn't work, is when passing strings to RegExp(), you need to slashify the slashes. So this:
"^(https?:\/\/)?([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})([\/\w \.-]*)*\/?$"
Should be:
"^(https?:\/\/)?([\\da-z\\.-]+)\\.([a-z\\.]{2,6})([\/\\w \\.-]*)*\/?$"
Next, you said that FF reported, "Regular expression too complex". This suggests that linksStr is several lines of URL candidates.
Therefore, you also need to pass the m flag to RegExp().
The existing regex is blocking legitimate values, eg: "HTTP://STACKOVERFLOW.COM". So, also use the i flag with RegExp().
Whitespace always creeps in, especially in multiline values. Use a leading \s* and $.trim() to deal with it.
Relative links, eg /file/63075291/LlMlTL355-EN6-SU8S.rar are not allowed?
Putting it all together (except for item 5), it becomes:
var linksStr = "http://www.wupload.com/file/63075291/LlMlTL355-EN6-SU8S.rar \n"
+ " http://XXXupload.co.uk/fun.exe \n "
+ " WWW.Yupload.mil ";
var pattern = new RegExp (
"^\\s*(https?:\/\/)?([\\da-z\\.-]+)\\.([a-z\\.]{2,6})([\/\\w \\.-]*)*\/?$"
, "img"
);
var matches = linksStr.match(pattern);
for (var J = 0, L = matches.length; J < L; J++) {
console.log ( $.trim (matches[J]) );
}
Which yields:
http://www.wupload.com/file/63075291/LlMlTL355-EN6-SU8S.rar
http://XXXupload.co.uk/fun.exe
WWW.Yupload.mil
Why not do make:
URLS = str.match(/https?:[^\s]+/ig);
(https?\:\/\/)([a-z\/\.0-9A-Z_-\%\&\=]*)
this will locate any url in text
I have attempted to create a function that will replace multiple regular expression values from an array. This works if the array does not contain quotation marks of any kind, this is problematic when I want to use a comma in my pattern. So I've been trying to find an alternative way of serving the pattern with no luck. Any ideas?
function removeCharacters(str){
//ucpa = unwanted character pattern array
//var ucpa = [/{/g,/}/g,/--/g,/---/g,/-/g,/^.\s/];
var ucpa = ["/{/","/}/","/--/","/---/","/-/","/^.\s/","/^,\s/"];
for (var i = 0; i < ucpa.length; i++){
//does not work
var pattern = new RegExp(ucpa[i],"g");
var str = str.replace(pattern, " ");
}
return str;
}
WORKING:
function removeCharacters(str){
//ucpa = unwanted character pattern array
var ucpa = [/{/g,/}/g,/--/g,/---/g,/-/g,/^.\s/,/^,\s/];
for (var i = 0; i < ucpa.length; i++){
var str = str.replace(ucpa[i], " ");
}
return str;
}
REFINED:
function removeCharacters(str){
var pattern = /[{}]|-{1,3}|^[.,]\s/g;
str = str.replace(pattern, " ");
return str;
}
The RegExp constructor takes raw expressions, not wrapped in / characters.
Therefore, all of your regexes contain two /s each, which isn't what you want.
Instead, you should make an array of actual regex literals:
var ucpa = [ /.../g, /",\/.../g, ... ];
You can also wrap all that into a single regex:
var str = str.replace(/[{}]|-{1,3}|^[.,]\s/g, " ")
although I'm not sure if that's exactly what you want since some of your regexes are nonsensical, for example ,^\s could never match.
