Decoding string to array values in javascript

I have 2 strings with some chars. One of them is with "mashed" characters, and the other one is with ordered characters which have some sense. For example:
wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7Fob9WIB8mSOA?w0s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:Mi:.CDfGX7tn!
Identification: zpE?bkHlfYS-hIDate: 07/08/2057 12:34:56.789 CGT
So as you may see - the first one have equivalent of symbols which are the same for the equal symbol in the second one.
And the task is - to create somehow kind of alphabet from them, because I have third one string wich have to be "decoded". (wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7a1AJvvHvAmRRWsxWsFAvJvAJAaoE88A2?s2AxJ1?290s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:MC:ifDCGN7tn!).
And the tricky part here is - that if I'm pretty sure for the first two strings that they're absolutely equal like a number of chars, so about the new one - is completely different number of symbols, but they consisting in the "alphabet"
And here is my current code for creation of the "alphabet":
var enc = "wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7Fob9WIB8mSOA?w0s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:Mi:.CDfGX7tn!";
var dec = "Identification: zpE?bkHlfYS-hIDate: 07/08/2057 12:34:56.789 CGT";
var newenc = "wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7a1AJvvHvAmRRWsxWsFAvJvAJAaoE88A2?s2AxJ1?290s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:MC:ifDCGN7tn!";
var myenc = {};
var mynewenc = {};
for (i = 0; i < enc.length; i+=1) {
var encoded = new Array(enc[i]);
var decoded = new Array(dec[i]);
myenc[enc[i]] = dec[i];
};
console.log(myenc);
And now - how I have to decode, the new one string, using this "alphabet"?

var enc = "wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7Fob9WIB8mSOA?w0s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:Mi:.CDfGX7tn!";
var dec = "Identification: zpE?bkHlfYS-hIDate: 07/08/2057 12:34:56.789 CGT";
var newenc = "wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7a1AJvvHvAmRRWsxWsFAvJvAJAaoE88A2?s2AxJ1?290s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:MC:ifDCGN7tn!";
function make_dictionary(enc, dec){
o = new Object();
if(enc.length == dec.length){
for(i=0; i<enc.length; i++){
o[enc[i]] = dec[i];
}
}
else{
console.log('error');
}
return o;
}
function translate(newenc, dictionary, fill){
var newstring = '';
for(i=0; i<newenc.length; i++){
if(typeof dictionary[newenc[i]] !== 'undefined'){
newstring += dictionary[newenc[i]];
}
else{
newstring += fill;
}
}
return newstring;
}
var d = make_dictionary(enc, dec);
console.log(d);
var string = translate(enc, d, '_');
console.log(string);
var string = translate(newenc, d, '_');
console.log(string);

Here's one way that you can approach it (as I understand the question):
// Create your dictionary
var dict = {};
var enc = "wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7Fob9WIB8mSOA?w0s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:Mi:.CDfGX7tn!".split('');
var dec = "Identification: zpE?bkHlfYS-hIDate: 07/08/2057 12:34:56.789 CGT".split('');
// Populate your dictionary
for (var i = 0; i < enc.length; i++) {
dict[enc[i]] = dec[i];
}
// You can use your dictionary like this
var newenc = "wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7a1AJvvHvAmRRWsxWsFAvJvAJAaoE88A2?s2AxJ1?290s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:MC:ifDCGN7tn!".split('');
// Returns your translated string
newenc.map(function(e) {
return dict[e];
}).join('');
However for this method you'll have to deal with characters that are defined in newenc that are not defined in your enc (such as T). I tried to do the best I could given the situation and rules that you've described, hope this helps!

If I understand well, you can try using this code.
It is finding the appropriate encoded letter in your enc variable and if the letter is found, it is replacing it with the corresponding letter from your dec variable.
var enc = "wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7Fob9WIB8mSOA?w0s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:Mi:.CDfGX7tn!";
var dec = "Identification: zpE?bkHlfYS-hIDate: 07/08/2057 12:34:56.789 CGT";
var newenc = "wvEr2JmJUs2JRr:7a1AJvvHvAmRRWsxWsFAvJvAJAaoE88A2?s2AxJ1?290s2E:7-f/-G/N-.f7jN:MC:ifDCGN7tn!";
for (i = 0; i < newenc.length; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < enc.length; j++) {
if (enc[j] == newenc[i])
newenc[i] = dec[j];
}
};
console.log(newenc);
At the end your variable newenc may contain your decoded string.

How do I get multiple comma separated values from URL

I have a URL like:
http://www.mysite.com/index.html?x=x1&x=x2&x=x3
How do I got the values like below, using JavaScript or JQuery:
var x='x1,x2,x3'

var url = "http://www.mysite.com/index.html?x=x1&x=x2&x=x3";
var params = url.match(/\?(.*)$/)[1].split('&');
var values = [];
for(var i=0; i<params.length; i++){
values.push( params[i].match(/=(.*)$/)[1] );
}
var result = values.join(","); // "x1,x2,x3"
EDIT: Here is a better solution that lets you select the parameter you want. This is something that I have found buried inside one of my projects, and I didn't write every part of it.
function $_GET(param) {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var vars = query.split('&');
var values = [];
for (var i = 0; i < vars.length; i++) {
var pair = vars[i].split('=');
if (urldecode(pair[0]) == param) {
values.push(urldecode(pair[1]));
}
}
return values.join(",");
}
// Decode URL with the '+' character as a space
function urldecode(url) {
return decodeURIComponent(url.replace(/\+/g, ' '));
}

If you directly hit url you can use it as
var fieldValue = ['x1','x2','x3'];
var searchValue = 'x='+ fieldValue.join(',');
window.location.search = searchValue;
This will hit current url to search data for given parameters.
If you want to manually create url then hit search then
var url = "http://www.mysite.com/index.html";
window.location.href = url;
var fieldValue = ['x1','x2','x3'];
var searchValue = 'x='+ fieldValue.join(',');
window.location.search = searchValue;
Now you can search values, as per requirement.

I think what you need is PURL. Please refer https://github.com/allmarkedup/purl for detailed usage and guidelines

function GetUrlValue(VarSearch){
var SearchString = window.location.search.substring(1);
var VariableArray = SearchString.split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < VariableArray.length; i++){
var KeyValuePair = VariableArray[i].split('=');
if(KeyValuePair[0] == VarSearch){
return KeyValuePair[1];
}
}
}

You can easily find query string in jquery using jquery split
Try this function to get Query String as a array object:
function getUrlVars()
{
var vars = [];
var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
{
hash = hashes[i].split('=');
vars.push(hash[1]);
}
return vars;
}
The function returns an array/object with your URL parameters and their values. So, you can use jquery .join() to convert it into comma separated values:
var result = vars.join(",");
Try in jsfiddle

Maybe use Regex:
var s = window.location.search;
var foo = s.match(/x=([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/g).join(",").replace(/x=/g, ""); // x1,x2,x3

Javascript pull data from string?

I have a long URL that contains some data that I need to pull. I am able to get the end of the URL by doing this:
var data = window.location.hash;
When I do alert(data); I receive a long string like this:
#access_token=0u2389ruq892hqjru3h289r3u892ru3892r32235423&token_type=Bearer&expires_in=3600
note in the example the access token is not valid, just random numbers I input for example purpose
Now that I have that long string stored in a variable, how can I parse out just the access token value, so everything in between the first '=' and '&. So this is what I need out of the string:
0u2389ruq892hqjru3h289r3u892ru3892r32235423
I was reading up on php explode, and others java script specific stuff like strip but couldn't get them to function as needed. Thanks guys.

DEMO (look in your debug console)
You will want to split the string by the token '&' first to get your key/value pairs:
var kvpairs = document.location.hash.substring(1).split('&');
Then, you will want to split each kvpair into a key and a value:
for (var i = 0; i < kvpairs.length; i++) {
var kvpair = kvpairs[i].split('=');
var k = kvpair[0];
var v = kvpair[1];
if (k != 'access_token')
continue;
console.log(v); //Here's your access token.
}
Here is a version wrapped into a function that you can use easily:
function getParam(hash, key) {
var kvpairs = hash.substring(1).split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < kvpairs.length; i++) {
var kvpair = kvpairs[i].split('=');
var k = kvpair[0];
var v = kvpair[1];
if (k != key)
continue;
return v;
}
return null;
}
Usage:
getParam(document.location.hash, 'access_token');

data.split("&")[0].split("=")[1]

var str = "#access_token=0u2389ruq892hqjru3h289r3u892ru3892r32235423&token_type=Bearer&expires_in=3600";
var requiredValue = str.split('&')[0].split('=')[1];

I'd use regex in case value=key pair changes position
var data = "#token_type=Bearer&access_token=0u2389ruq892hqjru3h289r3u892ru3892r32235423&expires_in=3600";
RegExp("access_token=([A-Za-z0-9]*)&").exec(data)[1];
output
"0u2389ruq892hqjru3h289r3u892ru3892r32235423"

Looks like I'm a bit late on this. Here's my attempt at a version that parses URL parameters into a map and gets any param by name.
var str = "#access_token=0u2389ruq892hqjru3h289r3u892ru3892r32235423&token_type=Bearer&expires_in=3600";
function urlToMap(url){
var startIndex = Math.max(url.lastIndexOf("#"), url.lastIndexOf("?"));
url = url.substr(startIndex+1);
var result = {};
url.split("&").forEach(function(pair){
var x = pair.split("=");
result[x[0]]=x[1];
});
return result;
}
function getParam(url, name){
return urlToMap(url)[name];
}
console.log(getParam(str, "access_token"));

To answer to your question directly (what's between this and that), you would need to use indexOf and substring functions.
Here's a little piece of code for you.
function whatsBetween (_strToSearch, _leftText, _rightText) {
var leftPos = _strToSearch.indexOf(_leftText) + _leftText.length;
var rightPos = _strToSearch.indexOf(_rightText, leftPos);
if (leftPos >= 0 && leftPos < rightPos)
return _strToSearch.substring(leftPos, rightPos);
return "";
}
Usage:
alert(whatsBetween, data,"=","#");
That said, I'd rather go with a function like crush's...

try this
var data = window.location.hash;
var d1 = Array();
d1 = data.split("&")
var myFilteredData = Array();
for( var i=0;i<d1.length;i++ )
{
var d2 = d1[i].split("=");
myFilteredData.push(d2[1]); //Taking String after '='
}
I hope it helps you.

Javascript string manipulation url

My problem is I am trying to extract certain things from the url. I am currently using
window.location.href.substr()
to grab something like "/localhost:123/list/chart=2/view=1"
What i have now, is using the index positioning to grab the chart and view value.
var chart = window.location.href.substr(-8);
var view = window.location.href.substr(-1);
But the problem comes in with I have 10 or more charts. The positioning is messed up. Is there a way where you can ask the code to get the string between "chart=" and the closest "/"?

var str = "/localhost:123/list/chart=2/view=1";
var data = str.match(/\/chart=([0-9]+)\/view=([0-9]+)/);
var chart = data[1];
var view = data[2];
Of course you may want to add in some validation checks before using the outcome of the match.
Inspired by Paul S. I have written a function version of my answer:
function getPathVal(name)
{
var path = window.location.pathname;
var regx = new RegExp('(?:/|&|\\?)'+name+'='+'([^/&,]+)');
var data = path.match(regx);
return data[1] || null;
}
getPathVal('chart');//2
Function should work for fetching params from standard get parameter syntax in a URI, or the syntax in your example URI

Here's a way using String.prototype.indexOf
function getPathVar(key) {
var str = window.location.pathname,
i = str.indexOf('/' + key + '=') + key.length + 2,
j = str.indexOf('/', i);
if (i === key.length + 1) return '';
return str.slice(i, j);
}
// assuming current path as described in question
getPathVar('chart');

You could split your string up, with "/" as delimiter and then loop through the resulting array to find the desired parameters. That way you can easily extract all parameters automatically:
var x = "/localhost:123/list/chart=2/view=1";
var res = {};
var spl = x.split("/");
for (var i = 0; i < spl.length; i++) {
var part = spl[i];
var index = part.indexOf("=");
if (index > 0) {
res[part.substring(0, index)] = part.substring(index + 1);
}
}
console.log(res);
// res = { chart: 2, view: 1}

Simple JavaScript encryption function

I have a function which has to change characters from one array to the characters from another. It is kind of simple encryption. I have:
var plainArray = ['A','B','C',...,'Z'];
var cipherArray = ['a','b','c',...,'z'];
function rotateToPosition(signalCharacter, indexCharacter, plainAlphabet, cipherAlphabet)
already working.
Now I have to write a function which will change given word into encrypted word.
function encrypt(plainText, signalCharacter, indexCharacter, plainAlphabet, cipherAlphabet)
{
var encryptedString = signalCharacter;
//i is what will hold the results of the encrpytion until it can be appended to encryptedString
var i;
// rotate array to signal character position
var rotateArray = rotateToPosition(signalCharacter, indexCharacter, plainAlphabet, cipherAlphabet);
for (var count = 0; count < plainText.length; count++)
{
plainAlphabet = plainText.charAt(count);
i = cipherAlphabet[plainAlphabet];
encryptedString = encryptedString + rotateArray[i];
}
return encryptedString;
}
This function returns signal character and then a string of errors. Do you know what is wrong?

You are overwriting plainAlphabet with one character, thus discarding the alphabet. I guess that's not what you want.
However, you only posted the signature of rotateToPosition and not the actual code of it, so I cannot test my solution.
function encrypt(plainText, signalCharacter, indexCharacter, plainAlphabet, cipherAlphabet) {
var encryptedString = signalCharacter;
//i is what will hold the results of the encrpytion until it can be appended to encryptedString
var i;
// rotate array to signal character position
var rotateArray = rotateToPosition(signalCharacter, indexCharacter, plainAlphabet, cipherAlphabet);
for (var count = 0; count < plainText.length; count++)
{
var plainLetter = plainText.charAt(count);
i = cipherAlphabet[plainLetter];
encryptedString = encryptedString + rotateArray[i];
}
return encryptedString;
}
