Question

Just wanted to know how i would replace sitename.com with sitename2.com whenever a user pastes it into a textarea, even on multiple lines.

Example, a user pastes
sitename.com/index.php?v=somecrap
sitename.com/index.php?v=somecrap2
sitename.com/index.php?v=somecrap3

upon pasting it is replaced with
sitename2.com/index.php?v=somecrap
sitename2.com/index.php?v=somecrap2
sitename2.com/index.php?v=somecrap3

Let me know if its possible or not with javascript.

Thanks

How about using paste event?

But it does fire before pasting is completed, to editing pasted contents, I need setTimeout to wait it completed.

JSFiddle

var pasted = document.getElementById("pasted"),
    replace = function() {
      pasted.value = pasted.value.replace(/sitename\.com/g, "sitename2.com");
    };
pasted.addEventListener("paste", function () {
  // Wait to the pasting completed
  setTimeout(replace, 0);
}, false);
