I have a string that is a normal sentence. I need to replace the characters in the string if they are found in a given array. For example,
const arr = ["(model: Audi)", "(model: Kia)"];
if the string is:
"How is your (model: Audi) today?";
The result should be "How is your Audi today?".
Is there a way to do this with regex? I read somewhere that regex has better performance. I've tried looping thru the array then replacing the characters but I couldnt get it working and my solution would have nested loops due to the given string
const arr = ["(model: Audi)", "(model: Kia)"];
let string = "How is your (model: Audi) today?";
for (let data of arr){
string = string.replace(data, data.split(": ")[1].replace(")",""))
}
console.log(string);Well, this is the simplest I have managed to do.
However, I myself kind of consider it a bad solution.
Let me know if it helps at all...
const myString = "How is your (model: Audi) today?";
const arr = ["(model: Audi)", "(model: Kia)"];
arr.forEach(item => {
const part = item.match(/\w+\)$/)[0];
const subPart = part.substring(0, part.length - 1);
if (myString.includes(item))
console.log(myString.replace(item, subPart));
});
