Question

I am here because I need help solving this problem. So I have this string (for example). Oh and obviously the >> are displayed as >>.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet >>21, consetetur sadipscin>>22g elitr.

>>11 I agree.

>>61 Lorem ipsumdur. See >>36

What I want to do now is: replace the

>>INTEGER

with the following:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="scroll(INTEGER)">&gt;&gt;INTEGER</a>

Answer 1

Try this :

yourString.replace(/>>[0-9]+/g,'firstPart'+'$&'+'secondPart');

Refer javascript replace method for more details.
Where “$&” , Inserts the matched substring.
So the final code would be :

yourString.replace(/&gt;&gt;[0-9]+/g,'<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="alert($1);">'+'$&'+'<\/a>');
