Question

I would like to as some help.

Is there a certain method in javascript/jquery that would act like
the str_replace in php?

i mean, example if i have a string like this : "l.123.aa-b"

i would replace all . and - into #.

in php you would do something like this:

$a = l.123.aa-b;
$new_str = str_replace(array('-','.'),'#',$a);

any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

Answer 1

just call 'string'.replace()

var str = 'l.123.aa-b';
var newStr = str.replace('.', '#').replace('-', '#');

// or with a regex
var newStr = str.replace(/[\.-]/g, '#'); // Thanks for the correction, Andbdrew
