How can I modify my <textarea> html value based on user input

I have a html textarea element in my page where user gives comma separate values. for example below.
A-48402,AA,SBAFL,AA+,USD,,
From javascript (which I prefer) I am applying logic to check if the last row value is blank (separated by comma only) then to put a String value 'Y'. Thus I am writing the below
var data = document.getElementById('txid').value;
rows = data.split('\n');var row1 = rows[0];row1Values=row1 .split(',');
Then I am applying logic to verify whether the last value for every row is blank or not, which is actually blank, then adding the below.
row_values.push('Y');
It is reflecting in debugger.
But what I see is the value 'Y' in the Java action class is not reflecting and showing usual 'Y' while the page submit. How can I add this value 'Y' in every rows end (where there is blank) so that it will be visible in action class?
String Data = request.getParameter('mbs_inst_data');
This data is populated with the same blank values.

If you're only checking for the last row then the only case that would happen is when it's ,,
so you can just do a simple check
let data = 'A-48402,AA,SBAFL,AA+,USD,,'
data = data.split(',')
let lastRowIsBlank = data[data.length-2] === ""
// we are doing length - 2 because in your situation we have 2 ""
// since you have two commas. If you have only 1 comma we would
// the same steps but with length - 1
if(lastRowIsBlank) data[data.length-2] = "Y"
return data.toString()

You can use it like this.
<p id="demo">Visit Microsoft! ,,</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var str = document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML;
var res = str.replace(/,,$/, ',Y');
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = res;
}
</script>
Output
Visit Microsoft! ,Y
I guess this would help you.

Do While Loop Mixed With Function Loop

I am writing a simple program for school and running into trouble with an issue I am hoping someone could help me with
These are the assignment parameters:
Create a small JavaScript program that:
Creates a variable 'total' with a value of 0.
Use a do-while loop & function to prompt the user to enter a series of numbers, or the word "quit" - the quit command should be case insensitive.
If the user enters a number, add the new number to a running total.
If the user enters the word "quit" the loop should stop execution.
If the user enters a word other than quit the prompt message should change to let the user know they entered an invalid data type
When the loop is exited, display a message giving the total of the numbers entered
My code achieves all assignment parameters except I can't figure out how to get the prompt to disappear after the quit command is entered. The result still displays on the screen but the prompt keeps looping.
Here is my code:
var inputCounter = 0;
var total = 0;
newInput = null;
quit = /quit/i
function askForNum(a) {
do {
var newInput = prompt(a);
if (!newInput.match(quit)) {
if (newInput < "A" && newInput > "" ) {
var addThis = parseFloat(newInput);
}
if (isNaN(newInput)) {
askForNum("That wasn't a number! type \"quit\" to see the results!");
} else {
total += addThis;
inputCounter++;
askForNum("Every number you enter gets added together! type \"quit\" to see the results!");
}
}
} while (!newInput.match(quit)) {
document.getElementById("addition-script").innerHTML = "<b>TOTAL:</b> " + total + "<br><b># OF ENTRIES:</b> " + inputCounter;
return;
}
}
if (total == 0){
askForNum("initial: Every number you enter gets added together! type \"quit\" to see the results!");
}

You are calling the askForNum function from inside itself (recursion), in effect starting a new do-while loop inside the previous one every time you type anything other than "quit".

Datetime array to array with dates, get corresponding time afterwards

Specific situation.. I'm having an array filled with datetimes I pull in via an api.
Users should be able to select a date from a datepicker (only showing dates available in the array) and afterwards see the corresponding time.
So what I've done..
The original array is obtained via php, so before starting to populate the datepicker with possible dates I create an extra array with dates only.
Since I maintain the key's it's possible to put these 2 arrays next to eachother.
Array looks as following:
["8-8-2017,07:00", "26-8-2017,07:00"];
So far so good...
After a user picks a date I trigger this to be able to start digging for the time corresponding that date.
Now it's getting messy...
$('#datepick').datepicker().on("input change", function(e) {
$("#uur").text('');
var selecteddate = e.target.value;
var searchArr = datesArray;
var ind = searchArr.indexOf(selecteddate.toString());
var result = datesArray.filter(function(item) {
return typeof item == 'string' && item.indexOf(selecteddate.toString()) > -1;
});
var afterComma = result.toString().substr(result.toString().indexOf(",") + 1);
var final = afterComma.replace(":", "u");
$("#uur").text("De warming up party gaat van start rond " + final);
});
The result is that this only works on the last element of the array.
Because I'm splitting based on the comma's. Now I know the easiest way to work arround this would be to change the , that's seperating date and time in another symbol but still I'm wondering why this couldn't be easier.

You convert whole array to string every time. You should change following code:
var afterComma = result.toString().substr(result.toString().indexOf(",") + 1);
To this;
var afterComma = item.toString().substr(item.toString().indexOf(",") + 1);
Edit:
I also missed the loop above
//for every item in result, afterComma will refer to related minute string
for (var item in result) {
var afterComma = item.toString().substr(item.toString().indexOf(",") + 1);
// Do rest here
}

how to remove the last character of an input field using AngularJS

The title of this question is probably wrong, but i can't think of how to name it.
I'm trying to build a simple calculator using AngularJS. Right now its functioning, but i'm trying to add some other buttons. I want a "delete" key and a decimal key. The delete key is what i'm focused on now.
If someone clicks, 3, then 3 again. we have 33. (this calculator currently, can only accept a left and right operand, and an operator separating them (ex, 3+3, or 56*486, etc). not multiple operators or operands). Now say the user were to enter 334, but they want the 4 taken off because they meant to click 5. How do I use javascript to delete the most recent number if an operator or equals hasn't been pressed?
If i had to guess, it's going to be something like this:
$scope.deleteNumb = function(d){
if(!$scope.operator){
// if no operator, delete most recent left operand
}
else{ //delete most recent right operand}
}
};
The "C" button doesn't work. I had that set up as "Clear" which refreshed the page to start a new calculation. I need a way to figure out how to delete the existing answer without using location.reload();
So the main thing here, is trying to delete the recent most operand, whether it be left or right, depending if an operator has been clicked or not.
My code is here:
https://codepen.io/tevon/pen/Moewba

For clear (C) did you try to clear all values in setClear
$scope.setClear = function (a) {
$scope.leftOperand = "";
$scope.operator = "";
$scope.rightOperand = "";
$scope.answer = "";
};

to delete a part of your number; have a look to substr as your input is a string :
For exemple :
$scope.removeBtn = function(){
var tmp = $scope.leftOperand;
console.warn("test",tmp)
$scope.leftOperand = tmp.substr(0,tmp.length-1);
}
This function removes the last number of your leftOperand.
Adapt it to your need for left/right

$scope.setClear = function (a) {
// $scope.clear = location.reload();
var result = $scope.leftOperand + $scope.operator + $scope.rightOperand;
result = result.substring(0, result.length - 1);
if ($scope.operator){
$scope.rightOperand = result;
}
else {
$scope.leftOperand = result;
}
};
Not tested.. Would have to tweak a little when operators come i guess

Lint Error with to.Fixed(2)

So the problem I am having is that whenever I try to make the to.Fixed(2); at the end of my g_fTotal I get a lint error and it also doesn't show up in the txtTotal field. IT shows up in the filed when I take the toFixed off but I need to have the total show only two decimal points. What am I doing wrong here?
// DO IT: Assign the total to the txtTotal textbox. Include a dollar sign and use .toFixed() to display 2 decimal places
document.getElementById("txtTotal").value = "$" + g_fTotal.toFixed(2);
