How to make element in Array change its' place

I'm beginner in JS. I've tried to understand Caesar Cipher ROT13, but it was too complicated for me. So I've tried to write my own code. Here it is below:
function encrip() {
var alphabet = ["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"];
var str = "Ni Hao";
var string = str.toUpperCase();
for (var i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
for (var k = 0; k < alphabet.length; k++) {
if(string.charAt(i) == alphabet[k]) {
/* console.log(string.charAt(i) + ' ' + alphabet.indexOf(alphabet[k])); */
}
}
}
}
encrip();
But I am stuck. How to do:
1. Get value from var str and then access to var alphabet , after change each letter from var str value to next 3 from alphabet (var str each element's current position would be changed) For example: Input: Ni Hao ==> output: QL KDR
2. Create universal code, I mean, not only for changing position by 3, but when I give value '5', each element would be changed by next 5 positions from alphabet. So output can be changed when I change its' value
I hope I explained everything clearly. Thanks everyone in advance for help!!

you can use the following function to encrypt english words, the 1st parameter is the string to encrypt and the 2nd for shifting
function encryp(str,pos){
var alpha="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
var strUC=str.toUpperCase();
var enc="";
for(var i=0;i<strUC.length;i++){
if(strUC.charAt(i)!=" "){
enc+=alpha.charAt((alpha.indexOf(strUC.charAt(i))+pos)%26)
}
else{
enc+=" "
}
// in your case pos=3
}
return enc;
}
console.log(encryp("NiHao",3));

You don't need two for loops to do this. Iterate over the input string and find the index of each character in the alphabet array, if found add the shift to it to get the encrypted character.
To handle overflow use the modulus operator to cycle through the array.
Also I assume that you are not going use any special symbols to do the encryption.
function encrip(string, shift) {
var alphabet = ["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"];
string = string.toUpperCase();
let arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
let char = alphabet.indexOf(string[i]) !== -1 ? alphabet[(alphabet.indexOf(string[i]) %26) + shift] : " ";
arr.push(char);
}
let encryp = arr.join("");
console.log(encryp);
return encryp;
}
encrip("Ni Hao", 3);

First of all, instead of your inner for loop scanning the whole alphabet array, you can use the built-in function indexOf:
alphabet.indexOf('K') // returns 10
Secondly, you'll want to build up your enciphered string in a separate variable. For each letter, get the index of that letter in the alphabet, add your cipher offset parameter to that index and add the resulting letter from the alphabet to your new string. An important step is that when you add to the index of the letter, you want to make sure the resulting index is within range for the alphabet array. You can do that using the % (modulo) operator, which will wrap high values back round to the start of the array. In full:
function encipher(input, offset) {
var alphabet = ["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"];
var str = input.toUpperCase();
var result = '';
for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
letterIndex = alphabet.indexOf(str.charAt(i));
if (letterIndex === -1) {
result += str[i]; // if the letter isn't found in the alphabet, add it to the result unchanged
continue;
}
cipheredIndex = (letterIndex + offset) % alphabet.length; // wrap index to length of alphabet
result += alphabet[cipheredIndex];
}
console.log(result);
}
encipher('Ni Hao', 5); // output: 'SN MFT'

put dash after every n character during input from keyboard

$('.creditCardText').keyup(function() {
var foo = $(this).val().split("-").join(""); // remove hyphens
if (foo.length > 0) {
foo = foo.match(new RegExp('.{1,4}', 'g')).join("-");
}
$(this).val(foo);
});
I found this tutorial on putting dash after every 4 character from here my question is what if the character interval is not constant like in this example it is only after every 4 what if the interval is 3 characters "-" 2 characters "-" 4 characters "-" 3 characters "-" so it would appear like this 123-12-1234-123-123.

In this case, it is more convenient to just write normal code to solve the problem:
function format(input, format, sep) {
var output = "";
var idx = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < format.length && idx < input.length; i++) {
output += input.substr(idx, format[i]);
if (idx + format[i] < input.length) output += sep;
idx += format[i];
}
output += input.substr(idx);
return output;
}
Sample usage:
function format(input, format, sep) {
var output = "";
var idx = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < format.length && idx < input.length; i++) {
output += input.substr(idx, format[i]);
if (idx + format[i] < input.length) output += sep;
idx += format[i];
}
output += input.substr(idx);
return output;
}
$('.creditCardText').keyup(function() {
var foo = $(this).val().replace(/-/g, ""); // remove hyphens
// You may want to remove all non-digits here
// var foo = $(this).val().replace(/\D/g, "");
if (foo.length > 0) {
foo = format(foo, [3, 2, 4, 3, 3], "-");
}
$(this).val(foo);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input class="creditCardText" />
While it is possible to do partial matching and capturing with regex, the replacement has to be done with a replacement function. In the replacment function, we need to determine how many capturing group actually captures some text. Since there is no clean solution with regex, I write a more general function as shown above.

You can split it using a regular expression. In this case, I'm using a expression to check for non-spaces with interval 3-2-4-3.
The RegExp.exec will return with a "match" array, with the first element containing the actual string. After removing the first element of the match, you can then join them up with dashes.
var mystring = "123121234123"
var myRegexp = /^([^\s]{3})([^\s]{2})([^\s]{4})([^\s]{3})$/g
var match = myRegexp.exec(mystring);
if (match)
{
match.shift();
mystring = match.join("-")
console.log(mystring)
}

Per further comments, the op clarified they need a fixed interval for when to insert dashes. In that case, there are several ways to implement it; I think regular expression would probably be the worst, in other words, overkill and overly complication solution.
Some simpler options would be to create a new character array, and in a loop append character by character, adding a dash too every time you get to the index you want. This would probably be the easiest to write and grok after the fact, but a little more verbose.
Or you could convert to a character array and use an 'insert into array at index'-type function like splice() (see Insert Item into Array at a Specific Index or Inserting string at position x of another string for some examples).

Pass the input value and the indexes to append the separator, first, it will remove the existing separators then just append separators on positions indexes.
export function addSeparators(
input: string,
positions: number[],
separator: string
): string {
const inputValue = input.replace(/-/g, '').split(''); // remove existing separators and split characters into array
for (let i = 0; i < inputValue.length; i++) {
if (positions.includes(i)) inputValue.splice(i, 0, separator);
}
return inputValue.join('');
}

Javascript add count to a number with comma

So I have this
var str=document.getElementById('elem').innerHTML;
str=parseInt(str)+1;
<span id="elem">1,500</span>
and I can't get it to take the entire number and add one (+1) to the number without taking comma off. Can you suggest something?

Remove the commas by replacing them with an empty string, then you can parse the string.
Remember the second parameter in the parseInt method that specifies the base, so that it doesn't use base 8 for zero padded values.
var num = parseInt(str.replace(/,/g, ''), 10) + 1;
If you want to put the changed number back formatted with commas, you can use:
var s = num.toString();
for (var i = s.length - 3; i > 0; i -= 3) {
s = s.substr(0, i) + ',' + s.substr(i);
}
document.getElementById('elem').innerHTML = s;

Adding extra zeros in front of a number using jQuery?

I have file that are uploaded which are formatted like so
MR 1
MR 2
MR 100
MR 200
MR 300
ETC.
What i need to do is add extra two 00s before anything before MR 10 and add one extra 0 before MR10-99
So files are formatted
MR 001
MR 010
MR 076
ETC.
Any help would be great!

Assuming you have those values stored in some strings, try this:
function pad (str, max) {
str = str.toString();
return str.length < max ? pad("0" + str, max) : str;
}
pad("3", 3); // => "003"
pad("123", 3); // => "123"
pad("1234", 3); // => "1234"
var test = "MR 2";
var parts = test.split(" ");
parts[1] = pad(parts[1], 3);
parts.join(" "); // => "MR 002"

I have a potential solution which I guess is relevent, I posted about it here:
https://www.facebook.com/antimatterstudios/posts/10150752380719364
basically, you want a minimum length of 2 or 3, you can adjust how many 0's you put in this piece of code
var d = new Date();
var h = ("0"+d.getHours()).slice(-2);
var m = ("0"+d.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
var s = ("0"+d.getSeconds()).slice(-2);
I knew I would always get a single integer as a minimum (cause hour 1, hour 2) etc, but if you can't be sure of getting anything but an empty string, you can just do "000"+d.getHours() to make sure you get the minimum.
then you want 3 numbers? just use -3 instead of -2 in my code, I'm just writing this because I wanted to construct a 24 hour clock in a super easy fashion.

Note: see Update 2 if you are using latest ECMAScript...
Here a solution I liked for its simplicity from an answer to a similar question:
var n = 123
String('00000' + n).slice(-5); // returns 00123
('00000' + n).slice(-5); // returns 00123
UPDATE
As #RWC suggested you can wrap this of course nicely in a generic function like this:
function leftPad(value, length) {
return ('0'.repeat(length) + value).slice(-length);
}
leftPad(123, 5); // returns 00123
And for those who don't like the slice:
function leftPad(value, length) {
value = String(value);
length = length - value.length;
return ('0'.repeat(length) + value)
}
But if performance matters I recommend reading through the linked answer before choosing one of the solutions suggested.
UPDATE 2
In ES6 the String class now comes with a inbuilt padStart method which adds leading characters to a string. Check MDN here for reference on String.prototype.padStart(). And there is also a padEnd method for ending characters.
So with ES6 it became as simple as:
var n = '123';
n.padStart(5, '0'); // returns 00123
Note: #Sahbi is right, make sure you have a string otherwise calling padStart will throw a type error.
So in case the variable is or could be a number you should cast it to a string first:
String(n).padStart(5, '0');

function addLeadingZeros (n, length)
{
var str = (n > 0 ? n : -n) + "";
var zeros = "";
for (var i = length - str.length; i > 0; i--)
zeros += "0";
zeros += str;
return n >= 0 ? zeros : "-" + zeros;
}
//addLeadingZeros (1, 3) = "001"
//addLeadingZeros (12, 3) = "012"
//addLeadingZeros (123, 3) = "123"

This is the function that I generally use in my code to prepend zeros to a number or string.
The inputs are the string or number (str), and the desired length of the output (len).
var PrependZeros = function (str, len) {
if(typeof str === 'number' || Number(str)){
str = str.toString();
return (len - str.length > 0) ? new Array(len + 1 - str.length).join('0') + str: str;
}
else{
for(var i = 0,spl = str.split(' '); i < spl.length; spl[i] = (Number(spl[i])&& spl[i].length < len)?PrependZeros(spl[i],len):spl[i],str = (i == spl.length -1)?spl.join(' '):str,i++);
return str;
}
};
Examples:
PrependZeros('MR 3',3); // MR 003
PrependZeros('MR 23',3); // MR 023
PrependZeros('MR 123',3); // MR 123
PrependZeros('foo bar 23',3); // foo bar 023

If you split on the space, you can add leading zeros using a simple function like:
function addZeros(n) {
return (n < 10)? '00' + n : (n < 100)? '0' + n : '' + n;
}
So you can test the length of the string and if it's less than 6, split on the space, add zeros to the number, then join it back together.
Or as a regular expression:
function addZeros(s) {
return s.replace(/ (\d$)/,' 00$1').replace(/ (\d\d)$/,' 0$1');
}
I'm sure someone can do it with one replace, not two.
Edit - examples
alert(addZeros('MR 3')); // MR 003
alert(addZeros('MR 23')); // MR 023
alert(addZeros('MR 123')); // MR 123
alert(addZeros('foo bar 23')); // foo bar 023
It will put one or two zeros infront of a number at the end of a string with a space in front of it. It doesn't care what bit before the space is.

Just for a laugh do it the long nasty way....:
(NOTE: ive not used this, and i would not advise using this.!)
function pad(str, new_length) {
('00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' + str).
substr((50 + str.toString().length) - new_length, new_length)
}

I needed something like this myself the other day, Pud instead of always a 0, I wanted to be able to tell it what I wanted padded ing the front. Here's what I came up with for code:
function lpad(n, e, d) {
var o = ''; if(typeof(d) === 'undefined'){ d='0'; } if(typeof(e) === 'undefined'){ e=2; }
if(n.length < e){ for(var r=0; r < e - n.length; r++){ o += d; } o += n; } else { o=n; }
return o; }
Where n is what you want padded, e is the power you want it padded to (number of characters long it should be), and d is what you want it to be padded with. Seems to work well for what I needed it for, but it would fail if "d" was more than one character long is some cases.

var str = "43215";
console.log("Before : \n string :"+str+"\n Length :"+str.length);
var max = 9;
while(str.length < max ){
str = "0" + str;
}
console.log("After : \n string :"+str+"\n Length :"+str.length);
It worked for me !
To increase the zeroes, update the 'max' variable
Working Fiddle URL : Adding extra zeros in front of a number using jQuery?:

str could be a number or a string.
formatting("hi",3);
function formatting(str,len)
{
return ("000000"+str).slice(-len);
}
Add more zeros if needs large digits

In simple terms we can written as follows,
for(var i=1;i<=31;i++)
i=(i<10) ? '0'+i : i;
//Because most of the time we need this for day, month or amount matters.

Know this is an old post, but here's another short, effective way:
edit: dur. if num isn't string, you'd add:
len -= String(num).length;
else, it's all good
function addLeadingZeros(sNum, len) {
len -= sNum.length;
while (len--) sNum = '0' + sNum;
return sNum;
}

Try following, which will convert convert single and double digit numbers to 3 digit numbers by prefixing zeros.
var base_number = 2;
var zero_prefixed_string = ("000" + base_number).slice(-3);

By adding 100 to the number, then run a substring function from index 1 to the last position in right.
var dt = new Date();
var month = (100 + dt.getMonth()+1).toString().substr(1, 2);
var day = (100 + dt.getDate()).toString().substr(1, 2);
console.log(month,day);
you will got this result from the date of 2020-11-3

how to parse string to int in javascript

i want int from string in javascript how i can get them from
test1 , stsfdf233, fdfk323,
are anyone show me the method to get the integer from this string.
it is a rule that int is always in the back of the string.
how i can get the int who was at last in my string

var s = 'abc123';
var number = s.match(/\d+$/);
number = parseInt(number, 10);
The first step is a simple regular expression - \d+$ will match the digits near the end.
On the next step, we use parseInt on the string we've matched before, to get a proper number.

You can use a regex to extract the numbers in the string via String#match, and convert each of them to a number via parseInt:
var str, matches, index, num;
str = "test123and456";
matches = str.match(/\d+/g);
for (index = 0; index < matches.length; ++index) {
num = parseInt(matches[index], 10);
display("Digit series #" + index + " converts to " + num);
}
Live Example
If the numbers really occur only at the ends of the strings or you just want to convert the first set of digits you find, you can simplify a bit:
var str, matches, num;
str = "test123";
matches = str.match(/\d+/);
if (matches) {
num = parseInt(matches[0], 10);
display("Found match, converts to: " + num);
}
else {
display("No digits found");
}
Live example
If you want to ignore digits that aren't at the end, add $ to the end of the regex:
matches = str.match(/\d+$/);
Live example

var str = "stsfdf233";
var num = parseInt(str.replace(/\D/g, ''), 10);

var match = "stsfdf233".match(/\d+$/);
var result = 0; // default value
if(match != null) {
result = parseInt(match[0], 10);
}

Yet another alternative, this time without any replace or Regular Expression, just one simple loop:
function ExtractInteger(sValue)
{
var sDigits = "";
for (var i = sValue.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
var c = sValue.charAt(i);
if (c < "0" || c > "9")
break;
sDigits = c + sDigits;
}
return (sDigits.length > 0) ? parseInt(sDigits, 10) : NaN;
}
Usage example:
var s = "stsfdf233";
var n = ExtractInteger(s);
alert(n);

This might help you
var str = 'abc123';
var number = str.match(/\d/g).join("");

Use my extension to String class :
String.prototype.toInt=function(){
return parseInt(this.replace(/\D/g, ''),10);
}
Then :
"ddfdsf121iu".toInt();
Will return an integer : 121

First positive or negative number:
"foo-22bar11".match(/-?\d+/); // -22

javascript:alert('stsfdf233'.match(/\d+$/)[0])
Global.parseInt with radix is overkill here, regexp extracted decimal digits already and rigth trimmed string
