Question

I have some hidden inputs like this

<input name="exam.normals[1].blahblah" ..../>

I would like somehow to replace the [1] with a number that I want (index).

I aint lazy but I am trying to find a good way to do this…

A solution would be a replace of exam.normals[1] with exam.normals[+ index +] but I should substr the whole string first….
With regexp I don’t know how to do the replace. good…

Try something like this:

$("input[name]").each(function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    $this.attr("name", $this.attr("name").match(/\[\d+]/g, "["+index+"]"));
});
