RE: Javascript regex problem.

[DURETTE, STEVEN J (AIT)]

Pascal,


Thanks, it's weird though, I copied a regex from the _javascript_ reference
and just replaced it with what came out of the vis regex editor.  The
reference had the quotes!


Thanks again
Steve

regexs are not defined between quotes but between slashes in js. Also
need g (global, same as "ALL" in regex functions from CF). You can also
use i (case insensitive). You also need the + instead of *, because you
only want to replace if there is a space. Otherwise you will add a
hyphen before each character.

Hi all,

I have a little problem with some _javascript_ and a regex that I can't
seem
to figure out.

I have the following code:

<script language="_javascript_">
<!--
    function dispTest(){
        var UpdprojStart = "     "; //five spaces.
        UpdprojStart = UpdprojStart.replace("[\s]*", "-");
        alert("|" + UpdprojStart + "|");

        UpdprojStart = " 1 2 3 4 5"; //a space  before each number.
        UpdprojStart = UpdprojStart.replace("[\s]*", "-");
        alert("|" + UpdprojStart + "|");
    }
//-->
</script>
