Question

I have a text area which is filled from database. In that textarea comma’s are replaced by white space using this.

 document.getElementById('<%=fnl000Db000MESSAGE.ClientId %>').value=document.getElementById('<%=fnl000Db000MESSAGE.ClientId %>').value.replace(/,/g,'\s');

Now I want to insert a new a new line after first two words like this..
eg.. hello admin ‘\n’ welcome

how can i get this using javascript. Do i need to use Regex or any other way.

I want an output like
Hello Admin
Process are running…

Answer 1

This isn’t all fancy like a regex, but I find it easier to read =).

var foo = 'Hello Admin Process are running....';
var secondSpaceIndex = foo.indexOf(' ', foo.indexOf(' ') + 1);
var foo2 = foo.substr(0,secondSpaceIndex) + '\n' + foo.substr(secondSpaceIndex + 1);
