The HTML document in the source below has two textareas – the first one contains html documents location info (blue_suede_shoes.html|im_countin_on_you.html … etc.).
The “var dataDB” is a “two-dimensional” array with the following structure:
dataDB[i][0] – an “ID” number
dataDB[i][1] – Title (in this example it serves no particular function)
dataDB[i][2] – the location as mentioned in the beginning
I want to construct a function using the RegExp replace method that will search the first textarea contents for all these locations (dataDB[i][2]) and if found, they will be replaced with the corresponding ID number (dataDB[i][0]).
So, in the end, the second textarea must be populated with ID numbers instead of document locations…
In the example below, only the last location is replaced with its corresponding number however… Is this a wrong RegExp construction issue, or something else, I cannot figure out where is the problem… Hope someone can find it…
