Question

I have this string that I am trying to add quotes “” around text that meets certain requirements. The rule is Add “” to the word(s) following ‘Text:’ and before ‘;’ or ‘}’
Here is the string: EDIT(notice the “”. This is not a JSON Object. Its just a string) :

var str = "View_1:{
        Name:"View1";
        Image_1:{
            BackgroundImage:"Image.gif";
            Position: [0, 0];
            Text: 320;
            Height: 480
        },

        Button_1:{
            BackgroundImage:"Button.gif";
            Transition:"View2";
            Position: [49, 80];
            Width: 216;
            Height: 71;
            Text: more text more
        },

        Button_2:{
            BackgroundImage:"Button2.gif";
            Position: [65, 217];
            Width: 188;
            Text:Some Text;
            Height: 134
        },
    }"

I cant get it to work

Answer 1

Try this:

str.replace(/Text:[\s]*([^;}\r\n]+)/ig, 'Text:  "$1"');

Though I have my doubts about str being a string in your question. It looks more like (an invalid) JSON object than a string.
