Question

I am not so good with regex. I am struggling to find a solution for a small functionality.

I have a ajax response which returns a string like “Your ticket has been successfully logged. Please follow the link to view details 123432.”

All I have to do is replace that number 123432 with <a href="blablabla.com?ticket=123432"> using javascript.

Answer 1

Try this:

fixedString = yourString.replace(/(\d+)/g, 
    "<a href='blablabla.com?ticket=$1\'>$1</a>");

This will give you a new string that looks like this:

Your ticket has been successfully logged. Please follow the link to view details <a href='blablabla.com?ticket=123432'>123432</a>.
