How to pass a JavaScript variable to XML?

I want to pass JavaScript variable's value to an XML file. I have already seen this question and answer here but since my XML file is not that small but rather big, I would like to know how to do this without writing whole xml if possible.
I have this JavaScript code
render_receipt: function () {
// this._super();
var self = this;
if (self.pos.config.disable_fiscalization == false) {
var data = self.get_receipt_render_env();
self.$('.pos-receipt-container').html("")
var total_amount = data['receipt']['total_with_tax'];
var vat = self.pos['company']['vat'];
var header_time = data['order']['formatted_validation_date'];
var order_name = data['order']['name'];
var soft_code = self.pos['company']['software_code'];
var business_unit_code = self.pos['config']['business_unit_code'];
var business_unit_address = self.pos.business_unit_address
var tcr_code = self.pos['config']['tcr_code'];
var operator_code = self.pos.get_cashier().operator_code
// create message
message = vat + '|' + header_time + '|' + order_name + '|' + business_unit_code + '|' + tcr_code + '|' + soft_code + '|' + total_amount
var order = self.pos.get_order();
if (!this.pos.config.iface_print_via_proxy) {
var invoiced = new $.Deferred();
// if (self.pos.config.disable_fiscalization == false) {
// console.log("hasEnoughSpeed", hasEnoughSpeed, isAlive)
if (isAlive && hasEnoughSpeed) {
rpc.query({
model: 'pos.order',
method: 'search_read',
domain: [['pos_reference', '=', order['name']]],
fields: ['iic_code', 'header_send_datetime', 'amount_total', 'fic', 'business_unit_code', 'operator_code', 'fiscalization_url', 'partner_id']
})
.then(function (orders) {
var partner = null;
if (orders.length && orders[0]['partner_id'] == false) {
var data = self.get_receipt_render_env();
data['partner_name'] = orders[0]['partner_id'][1];
data['street'] = false;
data['country'] = false;
data['city'] = false;
data['zip'] = false;
data['vat'] = false;
data['nslf'] = orders[0]['iic_code'];
// alert(data['nslf'])
data['nivf'] = orders[0]['fic'];
data['business_unit_code'] = business_unit_code;
data['operator_code'] = operator_code;
data['business_unit_address'] = business_unit_address
self.$('.pos-receipt-container').html(qweb.render('PosTicket', data));
var qr = new QRious({
element: document.getElementById('qr-code'),
size: 200,
});
I'd like to pass data['nsfl'] to this XML div tag. I have already tried as you see and it is failing, I get why it is failing and from the other side I don't know how to make work either. Thanks in advance guys!!!
<div>
<div style="font-weight:bold;font-size:12px;">NSLF: <t t-esc="data['nslf']"/></div>
</div>

Accessing an object not working with a variable

This seems simple but I'm banging against a wall. My code gets weights, accesses an object array to get a value then calculates a result using that value * weight. But accessing the object doesn't work with a variable.
function calc(){
var gender;
if(document.getElementById("male").checked){
gender = "mensList";
} else if (document.getElementById("female").checked){
gender = "womensList";
} else {
alert("Please select a gender");
return false;
}
var kg = parseInt(document.getElementById("bwKg").value);
var grams = parseFloat(document.getElementById("bwGrams").value);
var bw = parseFloat(kg + grams);
var lifted = parseFloat(document.getElementById("liftWeight").value);
var theValue = womensList[bw]; // This works
var theValue = mensList[bw]; // This also works
var theValue = gender[bw]; // This doesn't work
var theValue = gender + "[\"" + bw + "\"]" // Nor this
var result = theValue * lifted;
document.getElementById("result").textContent = result;
}
var womensList = {
40.0: "1.4936",
40.1: "1.4915",
40.2: "1.4894",
40.3: "1.4872",
40.4: "1.4851",
// ......... etc
150.7: "0.7691",
150.8: "0.7691",
150.9: "0.7691"
};
var mensList = {
40.0: "1.3354",
40.1: "1.3311",
40.2: "1.3268",
40.3: "1.3225",
40.9: "1.2975",
// ......... etc
205.7: "0.5318",
205.8: "0.5318",
205.9: "0.5318"
};

In your code you are setting a gender to string not variable.
if(document.getElementById("male").checked){
gender = "mensList";
} else if (document.getElementById("female").checked){
gender = "womensList";
}
Should be
if(document.getElementById("male").checked){
gender = mensList;
} else if (document.getElementById("female").checked){
gender = womensList;
}

Here is your problem :
if(document.getElementById("male").checked){
gender = "mensList"; //gender now contains a string only..
} else if
Since gender contains a mere string, this will not work:
var theValue = gender[bw]; // This doesn't work
What you should be doing instead is :
if(document.getElementById("male").checked){
gender = mensList; //now gender contains an array provided mensList is defined beforehand ..
}

To function to string, search and replace function, execute function

I am trying to do something crazy, I have a JSON object of all sorts of rules for my website. I have a system set up where I can write pseudo code and then it turns it into actual code. I have this working perfectly for strings, however now I need to be able to pass functions, and replace the pseudo code inside of functions, then execute the functions.
I think I am on the right track, however when I turn a function to a string it only turns the output of the functions into a string.
Here's my JSON (part of it)
customValidation: {
//compare: "(<!this!> && <!PrimeTimeDiscount!> == 200) || (<!PrimeTimeDiscount!> == 100)",
compare: function(){
return new Validator()["date"]("<!this!>", 50);
},
overrideDefault: true
}
The commented out "compare" is how I use this system for regular strings.
And below is how I handle turning "<!this!>" and "<!*!>" into values from the JSON object. It is basically the same code twice, but the one below I have started modifying for when a function is detected.
if(typeof customValidationRule != "function")
{
var string = customValidationRule.match(/<!(.*?)!>/g);
var customValidationTerms = new Array();
var execCustomValidationRule = customValidationRule;
$.each(string, function(i, v){
var customValidationTerm = v.replace(/<!/g, "").replace(/!>/g, "");
customValidationTerms.push(customValidationTerm);
});
$.each(customValidationTerms, function(i, v){
var RegEx = new RegExp("<!"+v+"!>", "ig");
if(v == "this")
{
var newData = value ? value : "''";
}
else
{
var newData = FormData[parentKey][TermNames[v]] ? FormData[parentKey][TermNames[v]] : "''";
}
newData = dataType == "currency" ? cleanVar(cleanCurrency(newData)) : newData;
newData = newData ? newData : "''";
execCustomValidationRule = execCustomValidationRule.replace(RegEx, newData);
});
}
else
{
var customValidationRuleString = customValidationRule().toString();
var string = customValidationRuleString.match(/<!(.*?)!>/g);
var customValidationTerms = new Array();
var execCustomValidationRule = customValidationRuleString;
$.each(string, function(i, v){
var customValidationTerm = v.replace(/<!/g, "").replace(/!>/g, "");
customValidationTerms.push(customValidationTerm);
});
$.each(customValidationTerms, function(i, v){
var RegEx = new RegExp("<!"+v+"!>", "ig");
if(v == "this")
{
var newData = value ? value : "''";
}
else
{
var newData = FormData[parentKey][TermNames[v]] ? FormData[parentKey][TermNames[v]] : "''";
}
newData = dataType == "currency" ? cleanVar(cleanCurrency(newData)) : newData;
newData = newData ? newData : "''";
execCustomValidationRule = execCustomValidationRule.replace(RegEx, newData);
});
var backToFunction = eval('(' + execCustomValidationRule + ')');
//validation = customValidationRule();
}
validation = eval(execCustomValidationRule);

Convert text items to JSON

I have a text that includes mani list items on the next format:
var text = "<li>M3-2200 (da2/M3-2200)</li><li>N3-2200 (da2/N3-2200)</li><li>Picasso (picasso/A500)</li><li>Picasso (picasso/A501)</li><li>Picasso (ventana/A500)</li>..."
I'm trying to create JSON on the next format:
{
name: "M3-2200",
Model: "M3-2200"
}
I'm trying using next code, but it doesn't work my problem is on push. anybody can explain me how do it right?
result ={};
while(text.indexOf("<li>")!== -1){
var listi = text.substring(text.indexOf("<li>"), text.indexOf("</li>"));
var model = listi.substring(0, listi.indexOf("(") -1);
var name = listi.substring(listi.indexOf("("), listi.indexOf(")"));
var item = {name: name: model : model};
result.push(item);
var text = text.substring(text.indexOf("</li>"));
}

Other solution for your problem:
var text = "<li>M3-2200 (da2/M3-2200)</li><li>N3-2200 (da2/N3-2200)</li><li>Picasso (picasso/A500)</li><li>Picasso (picasso/A501)</li><li>Picasso (ventana/A500)</li>";
var result = JSON.parse('[' +
text.replace(/(<li>|<\/li>| \(|\))/g, function(_, part){
switch (part) {
case '<li>': return '{"name":"';
case '</li>': return '},';
case ' (': return '", "Model":"';
case ')': return '"';
}
}) + '0]').slice(0, -1);

var text = "<li>M3-2200 (da2/M3-2200)</li><li>N3-2200 (da2/N3-2200)</li><li>Picasso (picasso/A500)</li><li>Picasso (picasso/A501)</li><li>Picasso (ventana/A500)</li>";
JSONStr = text.trim().replace(/<li>/g,"{\"name\":\"").replace(/ \(/g,"\" , \"model\":\"").replace(/\)\<\/li\>/g,"\"},");
JSONStr = "["+JSONStr.substring(0,JSONStr.length-1)+"]";
console.log(JSONStr);
Will the above code work?

I hope I understand your question correctly. If this is the output you want:
[{"name":"M3-2200 ","model":"da2/M3-2200"},{"name":"N3-2200 ","model":"da2/N3-2200"},{"name":"Picasso ","model":"picasso/A500"},{"name":"Picasso ","model":"picasso/A501"},{"name":"Picasso ","model":"ventana/A500"}]
Then this is a way to do it:
var text = "<li>M3-2200 (da2/M3-2200)</li><li>N3-2200 (da2/N3-2200)</li><li>Picasso (picasso/A500)</li><li>Picasso (picasso/A501)</li><li>Picasso (ventana/A500)</li>";
var extractItem = function (item) {
var partsArray = /(.+) ?\((.+)\)\<\/li>/.exec(item)
if(partsArray) return {"name":partsArray[1], "model":partsArray[2]}
}
var result = text.split('<li>')
.map(extractItem)
.filter(function(e){return e != undefined});
console.log(JSON.stringify(result));

javascript regex, split user's full name

I have user's firstname and lastname in one string, with space between
e.g.
John Doe
Peter Smithon
And now I want convert this string to two string - firstname and lastname
John Doe -> first = John, last = Doe
John -> first = John, last = ""
[space]Doe -> first = "", last = Doe.
I am using next code
var fullname = "john Doe"
var last = fullname.replace(/^.*\s/, "").toUpperCase().trim(); // john
var first = fullname.replace(/\s.*$/, "").toUpperCase().trim(); // Doe
and this works well for two-word fullname. But if fullname has one word, then I have problem
var fullname = "john"
var last = fullname.replace(/^.*\s/, "").toUpperCase().trim(); // john
var first = fullname.replace(/\s.*$/, "").toUpperCase().trim(); // john
http://jsfiddle.net/YyCKx/
any ideas?

Use split + shift methods.
var parts = "Thomas Mann".split(" "),
first = parts.shift(),
last = parts.shift() || "";
So in case of single word name it will give you expected result:
last = "";

Use this code:
You'll need to change the line: splitFullName("firstName","lastName","fullName"); and make sure it includes the right field IDs from your form.
function splitFullName(a,b,c){
String.prototype.capitalize = function(){
return this.replace( /(^|\s)([a-z])/g , function(m,p1,p2){ return p1+p2.toUpperCase(); } );
};
document.getElementById(c).oninput=function(){
fullName = document.getElementById(c).value;
if((fullName.match(/ /g) || []).length ===0 || fullName.substring(fullName.indexOf(" ")+1,fullName.length) === ""){
first = fullName.capitalize();;
last = "null";
}else if(fullName.substring(0,fullName.indexOf(" ")).indexOf(".")>-1){
first = fullName.substring(0,fullName.indexOf(" ")).capitalize() + " " + fullName.substring(fullName.indexOf(" ")+1,fullName.length).substring(0,fullName.substring(fullName.indexOf(" ")+1,fullName.length).indexOf(" ")).capitalize();
last = fullName.substring(first.length +1,fullName.length).capitalize();
}else{
first = fullName.substring(0,fullName.indexOf(" ")).capitalize();
last = fullName.substring(fullName.indexOf(" ")+1,fullName.length).capitalize();
}
document.getElementById(a).value = first;
document.getElementById(b).value = last;
};
//Initial Values
if(document.getElementById(c).value.length === 0){
first = document.getElementById(a).value.capitalize();
last = document.getElementById(b).value.capitalize();
fullName = first + " " + last ;
console.log(fullName);
document.getElementById(c).value = fullName;}}
//Replace the ID's below with your form's field ID's
splitFullName("firstName","lastName","fullName");

You can use split method
var string = "ad";
var arr = string.split(" ");
var last = arr[0];
var first = arr[1];
if(first == null){
first = "";
}
alert(last + "\n" + first)​;​

If in every situation you have just "first last" you could use:
var string = "john "
var i = string.split(" ");
alert("first: "+i[0]+ "\n"+ "last: " + i[1]);

I know that this has already been replied to and marked as answered but i just want to note that if you do still want to use regex you can change the "last" expression:
var last = string.replace(/^[a-zA-Z]*/, "").toUpperCase().trim();

jQuery( window ).load(function() {
jQuery("#FullNametest").change(function(){
var temp = jQuery(this).val();
var fullname = temp.split(" ");
var firsname='';
var middlename='';
var lastname = '';
firstname=fullname[0];
lastname=fullname[fullname.length-1];
for(var i=1; i < fullname.length-1; i++)
{
middlename = middlename +" "+ fullname[i];
}
jQuery('#FirstName').val(firstname);
jQuery('#LastName').val(lastname);
});
});

var str='John';
var str2='Peter Smithon';
var str3='Peter';
var words=str.split(/\s+/g,2);
var first=words[0];
var last=words[1]||'';
