I try to use a conditional to verify if a string contain a certain word, for example:
I want to use a method (regex?) to find if a string has the text "&SWE>clickable".
var text1 = "layer_legs";
var text2 = "layer_head&SWE>clickable";
if (....)
document.write ("the layer is clickable")
else
document.write ("the layer is not clickable")
How can I do that?
You can use String.indexOf. It returns -1 if the string is not found, otherwise it returns the index where the string was found. You can use it like this:
if (s.indexOf("&SWE>clickable") !== -1) { ... }
if (text2.indexOf("&SWE>clickable") > -1) {
....
try this :
if (text1.indexOf('&SWE>clickable')>=0){ ... }
or regex way :
var re = new RegExp('\&SWE\>clickable')
if (re.test(text1)){ ... }
if(text1.indexOf(text2))
document.write ("the layer is clickable")
else
document.write ("the layer is not clickable")
if (/&SWE>clickable/g.test(text2)) {
// exists
}
EDIT: Using indexOf like others have posted might be better, since it’s more readable and you don‘t need to escape characters. And arguably faster :/
