I have problem one of my string has repeated url inside and I want to remove it. What's the best way to do it in javascript?
Following is example of string I referring to.
var str = "http://www.example.comhttp://www.example.com"
One solution is to reassign str to half of itself.
str = str.substring(str.length/2)
(This assumes the string will always follow the same format as the example you gave.)

I am pulling in a string from another web page. I want to read that string into a variable but only after a certain point. Eg:
#stringexample
var variable;
I want variable to equal stringexample but not contain the # how could I do this?
This is how I am using the variable at the moment.
$("#Outputajax").load("folder/"+ variable +".html");
This is the way that works but isn't a variable.
$("#Outputajax").load("folder/webpage.html");
If you just want to trim of the first character, then you can use substring...
var input = "#stringexample";
input = input.substring(1);
//input = "stringexample"
Here is a working example
var myVariable = stringExample.replace('#','');
Could just use variable.substr(1) to cut off the first character.
If you want to specifically remove the hash from the start (but do nothing if the hash isn't there), try variable.replace(/^#/,"")
I understand you want to get everything in the string AFTER the hashtag. The other solutions will leave anything ahead of the hashtag in as well. And substring does not work if the hashtag is not the first symbol.
variable= "#stringexample".split("#")[1];
This splits the string into an array of strings, with the parameter as the point where to split, without including the parameter itself. There will be an empty string as the first parameter, and everything after the hashtag is the second string.
var slicer = function(somestring){
var parsedString = somestring;
parsedString = parsedString.slice(1);
return parsedString
}
// run from yors function with some string
var someYouVar = slicer("#something")
There is a part in my string from, to which I would like to replace to an another string replace_string. My code should work, but what if there is an another part like the returned substring?
var from=10, to=17;
//...
str = str.replace(str.substring(from, to), replace_string);
For example:
from=4,to=6
str = "abceabxy"
replace_string = "zz"
the str should be "abcezzxy"
What you want to do is simple! Cut out and replace the string. Here is the basic tool, you need scissor and glue! Oops I mean string.Split() and string.Replace().
How to use?
Well I am not sure if you want to use string.Split() but you have used string.Replace() so here goes.
String.Replace uses two parameters, like this ("one", "two") what you need to make sure is that you are not replacing a char with a string or a string with a char. They are used as:
var str="Visit Microsoft!";
var n=str.replace("Microsoft","W3Schools");
Your code:
var from=10, to=17;
//...
var stringGot = str.replace(str.substring(from, to), replace_string);
What you should do will be to split the code first, and then replace the second a letter! As you want one in your example. Thats one way!
First, split the string! And then replaced the second a letter with z.
For String.Replace refer this: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_replace.asp
For String.SubString: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_substring.asp
For String.Split: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_split.asp
Strings are immutable. This means they do not change after they are first instantiated. Every method to manipulate a string actually returns a new instance of a string. So you have to assign your result back to the variable like this:
str = str.replace(str.substring(from, to), replace_string);
Update: However, the more efficient way of doing this in the first place would be the following. it is also less prone to errors:
str = str.substring(0, from) + replace_string + str.substring(to);
See this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/cFtKL/
It runs both of the commands through a loop 100,000 times. The first takes about 75ms whereas the latter takes 20ms.
I have this string:
var str = "jquery12325365345423545423im-a-very-good-string";
What I would like to do, is removing the part 'jquery12325365345423545423' from the above string.
The output should be:
var str = 'im-a-very-good-string';
How can I remove that part of the string using php? Are there any functions in php to remove a specified part of a string?
sorry for not including the part i have done
I am looking for solution in js or jquery
so far i have tried
var str="jquery12325365345423545423im-a-very-good-string";
str=str.replace("jquery12325365345423545423","");
but problem is numbers are randomly generated and changed every time.
so is there other ways to solve this using jquery or JS
The simplest solution is to do it with:
str = str.replace(/jquery\d+/, '').replace(' ', '');
You can use string replace.
var str = "jquery12325365345423545423im-a-very-good-string";
str.replace('jquery12325365345423545423','');
Then to removespaces you can add this.
str.replace(' ','');
I think it will be best to describe the methods usually used with this kind of problems and let you decide what to use (how the string changes is rather unclear).
METHOD 1: Regular expression
You can search for a regular expression and replace the part of the string that matches the regular expression. This can be achieved through the JavaScript Replace() method.
In your case you could use following Regular expression: /jquery\d+/g (all strings that begin with jquery and continue with numbers, f.e. jquery12325365345423545423 or jquery0)
As code:
var str="jquery12325365345423545423im-a-very-good-string";
str=str.replace("/jquery\d+/g","");
See the jsFiddle example
METHOD 2: Substring
If your code will always have the same length and be at the same position, you should probably be using the JavaScript substring() method.
As code:
var str="jquery12325365345423545423im-a-very-good-string";
var code = str.substring(0,26);
str=str.substring(26);
See the jsFiddle example
Run this sample in chrome dev tools
var str="jquery12325365345423545423im-a-very-good-string";
str=str.replace("jquery12325365345423545423","");
console.log(str)
Ok, So I hit a little bit of a snag trying to make a regex.
Essentially, I want a string like:
error=some=new item user=max dateFrom=2013-01-15T05:00:00.000Z dateTo=2013-01-16T05:00:00.000Z
to be parsed to read
error=some=new item
user=max
dateFrom=2013-01-15T05:00:00.000Z
ateTo=2013-01-16T05:00:00.000Z
So I want it to pull known keywords, and ignore other strings that have =.
My current regex looks like this:
(error|user|dateFrom|dateTo|timeFrom|timeTo|hang)\=[\w\s\f\-\:]+(?![(error|user|dateFrom|dateTo|timeFrom|timeTo|hang)\=])
So I'm using known keywords to be used dynamically so I can list them as being know.
How could I write it to include this requirement?
You could use a replace like so:
var input = "error=some=new item user=max dateFrom=2013-01-15T05:00:00.000Z dateTo=2013-01-16T05:00:00.000Z";
var result = input.replace(/\s*\b((?:error|user|dateFrom|dateTo|timeFrom|timeTo|hang)=)/g, "\n$1");
result = result.replace(/^\r?\n/, ""); // remove the first line
Result:
error=some=new item
user=max
dateFrom=2013-01-15T05:00:00.000Z
dateTo=2013-01-16T05:00:00.000Z
Another way to tokenize the string:
var tokens = inputString.split(/ (?=[^= ]+=)/);
The regex looks for space that is succeeded by (a non-space-non-equal-sign sequence that ends with a =), and split at those spaces.
Result:
["error=some=new item", "user=max", "dateFrom=2013-01-15T05:00:00.000Z", "dateTo=2013-01-16T05:00:00.000Z"]
Using the technique above and adapt your regex from your question:
var tokens = inputString.split(/(?=\b(?:error|user|dateFrom|dateTo|timeFrom|timeTo|hang)=)/);
This will correctly split the input pointed out by Qtax mentioned in the comment: "error=user=max foo=bar"
["error=", "user=max foo=bar"]
I'm attempting to parse a text string with jQuery and to make a variable out of it. The string is below:
Publications Deadlines: armadllo
I'm trying to just get everything past "Publications Deadlines: ", so it includes whatever the name is, regardless of how long or how many words it is.
I'm getting the text via a the jQuery .text() function like so:
$('.label_im_getting').text()
I feel like this may be a simple solution that I just can't put together. Traditional JS is fine as well if it's more efficient than JQ!
Try this,
Live Demo
First part
str = $.trim($('.label_im_getting').text().split(':')[0]);
Second part
str = $.trim($('.label_im_getting').text().split(':')[1]);
var string = input.split(':') // splits in two halfs based on the position of ':'
string = input[1] // take the second half
string = string.replace(/ /g, ''); // removes all the spaces.
