Question

I’m new to regular expression and have come across a problem.

I want to do a search and replace on a string.

Search for an instance of — and ‘ and replace it with – and `, respectively.

Example
Current String: Hi’yo every–body!

Replaced String: Hi`yo every-body!

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Answer 1

You need.

"Hi'yo every--body!".replace(/--/g, '-').replace(/'/,'`')

Make a function

 function andrew_styler(s){return s.replace(/--/g, '-').replace(/'/,'`');}
