Question

I want to read a text file and display the info in a div, and then replace the separator | with a <br/> so everything is on one line. I have it working fine so far but the .replace() only works once. I read up about this but couldn’t figure how to solve it.

Here is my code so far:

    $.get('feed.txt', function(data) {
        $('div').html(data.replace('|','<br>'));
});

Answer 1

you need to use a regex replace instead of a string replace:

.replace(/\|/g, '<br>');

note, you have to escape the ‘|’ character.
