Question

Given this string:

var str = 'One two three four five';

and this parameters:

position: 8
length: 5

I would like to wrap the part of the string that starts at the given position and has the given length inside SPAN tags. In this case, I want this result:

'One two <span>three</span> four five'

How can this be done most elegantly?

Answer 1

var str = 'One two three four five';
var position = 8
var length = 5

var newstr=str.slice(0,position)+'<span>'+str.slice(position,position+length)+'</span>'+str.slice(position+length);
