String.indicesOf(...) String.remove(...) String.replace(...) String.replace$(...) String.reverse(...) String.toProperCase() String.trim()Purpose:
Give the user the ability to do global replacements without using regular expressions or user-defined loops.
NOTE: If the limit is not set, this function acts just as the built-in JavaScript function does.
Parameters:
| target | The string or regular expression used to find the substring that you would like to be replaced. NOTE: If this is a a regular expression, the limit and start parameters will be ignored. |
|---|---|
| replacement | The string that will be replacing the substring which matched target. |
| [ limit ] | The maximum number of replacements which can be carried out. This parameter is optional and has a default value of 1. A limit of -1 indicates that a global replacement will occur. NOTE: Will be ignored if target is a regular expression. |
Returns:
The string with the specified target replaced. If target is a string, the return value will have it replaced with replacement as many times as was specified by the limit after the specified start. If target is a regular expression, the return value will have the target substring replaced as many times is specified by the regular expression flags.
Example #1:
The code below will show you how to replace an unlimited amount of occurrences of a substring with another string:
Example #2:
The code below will show you how to search for one occurrence of a substring (proving that adding JXtension will not ruin any former code):
Example #3:
The code below will show you how to use a regular expression to replace multiple instances of the space character with " " (proving that adding JXtension will not ruin any former code):
