Hello everyone, how are you? I'm breaking my head on the following question:
I have a string set:
var teste = blabla 555.. 999
I have double white space between the digits and did the regex:
var str = teste.replace(/\s{2,}/g, '.');
The problem that it will replace the two spaces by just a "." point, I wanted to loop with the following algorithm:
Some light, path of stones?
I'm not a guru in JavaScript, so any error is just saying.
function times(str, n){
var step = str;
for (var y = 1; y < n; y++){
str = str.concat(step);
}
return str;
}
test = "a b d"
test = test.replace(/\s{2,}/g, function(match) {
return times(".", match.length);
});
>>> a b..d
Test: JSFiddle
It finds sequences of spaces n ≥ 2 and makes replace by '.' * n .
I do not know if I understand, your problem.
But if I understand you want to search in a certain phrase two blank spaces followed and replace them with ".."? Right?
If so, you only need to change replace like this:
// procura por 2 espaços em branco da frase e substitui por ".."
var str = teste.replace(/\s{2,}/g, '..');
Check if this is what you needed?
