I am facing this problem. i am getting strings like this.
'=--satya','=---satya1','=-----satya2'.
now my problem is i have to remove these special characters and print the strings like this
'satya'
'satya1'
'satya2'
please help to solve this problem?
Use String.replace:
var s = '=---satya1';
s.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, '');
to replace all non-letter and non-number characters or
s.replace(/[-=]/g, '');
to remove all - and = characters or even
'=---satya-1=test'.replace(/(=\-+)/g, ''); // out: "satya-1=test"
to prevent removing further - or =.
You could extract that information with a regular expression such as
/\'\=-{0,}(satya[0-9]{0,})\'/
Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/LFZje/
The regex matches
Literal '
Literal =
Zero or more -
Starts a capture group and captures
- Literal satya
- Zero or more numbers
Ends the capture group
Literal '
Then using code such as
var regex = /\'\=-{0,}(satya[0-9]{0,})\'/g;
while( (match = regex.exec("'=--satya','=---satya1','=-----satya2'")) !== null)
{
// here match[0] is the entire capture
// and match[1] is tthe content of the capture group, ie "satya1" or "satya2"
}
See the live example more detail.
Use javascript function replace which helps you to use regex for this case
var string = '=---satya1';
string = string.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, '');
