JavaScript: String.replace
3 Oct
Today I had to help out my friend with replace any email address with < email address >
Here is the easiest solution I could come up with:
var myString = “My email address rajesh.segu@abc.com”;
function replaceEMail(){
return “<”+arguments[0]+”>”;
}
myString = myString.replace( /([0-9a-zA-Z]+[-._+&])*[0-9a-zA-Z]+@([-0-9a-zA-Z]+[.])+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)/ig, replaceEMail);
myString here becomes “My email address <rajesh.segu@abc.com>”.
The best part in this solution is that you could pass a function to the string.replace() which would make things like replacing regex’s very easy.
