Help me replace a string.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Just a quick question.

I want to replace +’s in a string to whitespace, for example:

hello+how+are+you

becomes

hello how are you

I cant do replace(/+/,” “) for obvious reasons.

Thanks for the help.

@jamApr 16.2008 — why not use String.split() ?

e.g.

[CODE]
var myString = "hello+world";
var stringPieces = myString.split("+");
var finalString = "";
for(var a=0; a<stringPieces.lengh; a++){
finalString = stringPieces[a]+" ";
}
//final string is now "hello world"
[/CODE]

something liek that would work?

probably not the best way to do it though

thanks, I was going to do that, but I was wondering if there is a short hand way. In the code im creating it uses a tonne of for and while statements and I want to cut down on them as much as possible.

@ckeyrouzApr 16.2008 — instead of using the loop issue do this:

var myString = "hello+world";

var stringPieces = myString.split("+");

var result = stringPieces.join(" ");

Success!
