const obj = {text: "The\bNew stylish \biPhone"}
I would like to replace all words in the above object that starts with '\b' followed by a single word with bold html tag with the identified word in the tag
i.e. text: "The\bNew stylish \biPhone" should be text: "The <b>New</b> stylish <b>iPhone</b>"
Thanks
You can capture \\b(\S+) and replace it with < b>$1< /b >.
Here \\b matches literal \b and (\S+) matches any word or text in general and gets captured in group1 which you can use to replace the matched text with bold tags.
const s = 'The \\bNew stylish \\biPhone';
console.log(s.replace(/\\b(\S+)/g, '<b>$1</b>'))Just in case you want to limit any character set matching the world, change \S+ to something like \w or [a-zA-Z] and so on.
