Question

I have a html which looks roughly like this

<div id="wallPostTemplate">
    <li id='comment-content--oOo-id-oOo-' class='comment-content' comment_id='-oOo-id-oOo-'>
        <a class='comment-avatar' href='-oOo-link-oOo-'>
            <img class='small_avatar' src='<?="../" . MESTO_ZA_UPLOAD_FAJLOVA_KORISNIKA ?>-oOo-korisnikPodaci.Slika-oOo-'></a> 
            -oOo-text-oOo-
    </li>
</div>

Now I get the contents of the html into a sting with $('#wallPostTemplate').text() and then I want to replace dynamically the occurrences of the string -oOo-id-oOo-
with whatever data I have stored inisde a variable like -oOo-id-oOo-, -oOo-text-oOo- and so on…

Now I tried numerous ways to tackle this thing but I always end up without a solution.
Here is my latest try out. HELP pls Q_Q

var regex = new RegExp('{\-oOo\-'+index+'\-oOo\-}', "g");
post = post.replace(regex, value);  

Also I tried str.replace but it does not work… It seems new lines are the problem but I have no idea how to over come this…..

edit:

To make it more simple to understand i made a example on jsfidle: http://jsfiddle.net/DdBFB/
And as you can see, you can see nothing…. it dous not work when you get the content over the html function.

Although your question is not really clear I’ve whipped up an example that replaces a value based on a regular expression.

var source = "-oOo-korisnikPodaci.Slika-oOo-";
var id = "korisnikPodaci.Slika";
var regex = new RegExp('\-oOo\-' + id + '\-oOo\-', "gmi");

// Match
source.replace(regex, "hello world"); // => "Hello World"

// Mismatch
source = "-oO!!!o-korisnikPodaci.Slika-oO!!!o-";
source.replace(regex, "hello world"); // => "-oO!!!o-korisnikPodaci.Slika-oO!!!o-"
