Complicated Javascript string modify

Question

I have this string here:

<br><br>|Me-Foo|: htht

What i want to do is to transform it to this:

<br><br>Me: htht

basically to change only the part inside the two "|", remembering tha the "Foo" might change with another name, like "john" or whatever. .. But I don't know how to!? A quick solution anyone?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can remove that with...

str = str.replace(/\|(\w+)-\w+\|/, '1ドル');

You didn't specify the constraints of what appears between the pipes. If word characters (\w) aren't flexible enough, adjust as required.

Answer 2

You can easily achieve this with combination of indexOf, lastIndexOf, and substring js methods... documentation

Answer 3

It is hard to tell the general case from your example, but let me try:

str = str.replace(/\|([^|]+)-Foo\|/, '1ドル');

Answer 4

Is this helpful?

theString = theString.replace(/\|(.+)-.+\|/, "1ドル");

There are several answers given. This one replaces

"anything*& 45|anything8 \$-().?anything| 90fanything"

with

"anything*& 45anything8 \$ 90fanything"

The best answer depends on what could possibly be in between the pipes.
