I'm trying to remove a sentence from a text file that I'm uploading through an Input file. I need to remove all sentences that are between '/' and '/' so comments line basically. Also all the single line comments such as '//' but I took care of it already. For that I'm not allowed to use any regex or replace function. Is there anyone who can help me on that ? Thanks
class Inpute extends Component{
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
fileName: '',
fileContent: ''
};
}
handleFile = e =>{
const file = e.target.files[0];
const reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsText(file);
reader.onload = () => {
this.setState({fileName: file.name, fileContent: reader.result});
if(reader.result.includes('//')){
var newText = reader.result
newText = newText
.split('\n')
.filter(x => !x.includes('\/\/'))
.join('\n')
this.setState({fileName: file.name, fileContent: newText})
}
}
reader.onerror = () =>{
console.log('File Error : ', reader.error)
}
}
Split string by /. Parts that you need to delete are all in odd indexes so filter them out and join this array back into string.
const string = 'asdasada a/kkkkkkkk/a sdad asda s/xxxxx/s dasd';
const arr = string.split('/').filter((_, index) => index%2 === 0);
console.log(arr.join(''));I have changed my example to filter only comments
const line = 'asdasada a/*kkkkkkkk*/a sdad asda s/*xxxxxs dasd x asda sd\n' +
'asdas */das a// asdasda\n' +
'x/*bbbbb*/c ad';
let prevPart = null;
let haveDoubleSlashes = false;
const cleaned = line.split('/').map(part => {
// single line comments
if (haveDoubleSlashes || part === '') {
haveDoubleSlashes = true;
if (part.includes('\n')) {
part = '\n' + part.split('\n')[1];
haveDoubleSlashes = false;
} else {
part = null;
}
return part;
}
/* multiline comments */
if (part.startsWith('*') && part.endsWith('*')) {
prevPart = null;
return null;
}
if (prevPart !== null) {
part = '/' + part;
}
prevPart = part;
return part;
}).filter(part => part !== null).join('');
console.log(cleaned);If all you care about is if the line contains two solidus characters (/), just filter on that:
const sample = `blah blah // blah blah\nblah blah /blah blah/ blah\nblah blah blah`;
const lines = sample.split('\n');
const good = lines.filter(x =>
// [...x] makes the line an array of characters
// reduce runs for each character, aggregating the result.
// agg is the aggregation, cur is the current character
// Here it's just counting the number of /s and returning false if there are
// fewer than two
[...x].reduce((agg, cur) => agg = cur === '/' ? agg + 1 : agg, 0) < 2
);
console.log(good.join('\n'));function stripMultilineComments(str) {
let posOpen;
let posClose;
while ((posOpen = str.indexOf('/*')) !== -1) {
posClose = Math.max(
0, str.indexOf('*/', (posOpen + 2))
) || (str.length - 2);
str = [
str.substring(0, posOpen),
str.substring(posClose + 2),
].join('');
}
return str;
}
function stripSingleLineComment(str) {
let idx;
if (
(str.trim() !== '') &&
((idx = str.indexOf('//')) !== -1)
) {
str = str.substring(0, idx);
}
return str;
}
function stripComments(value) {
return stripMultilineComments(
String(value)
)
.split('\n')
.map(stripSingleLineComment)
.join('\n');
