Jquery search and replace



Hi Guys,

I need a jquery code where I need to search for an element and then replace every period (\.) with the text "[this is period]". How can I do this jquery search and replace?

You need to use Jquery replace() API function:

var e = $('#container').text();
e.replace(/\./g, "[this is period]");

Jquery replace() takes first argument as the regular expression. So, the code below means that we are trying to replace all (/g) occurrence of text in #container with the text.

e.replace(/\./g, "[this is period]");

Therefore, the complete JQuery code looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
	<div id="container">
This is test for JQuery Find and Replace. This should work correctly.
 
<script>
var e = $('#container').text();
e.replace(/\./g, "[this is period]");
</script>
</body>
</html>

This would give output:

This is test for JQuery Find and Replace[this is period] This should work correctly[this is period]

Really Awesome and Thanks
