I'm trying to replace character "/" with a blank space or a dash "-", but i can't seem to figure out how. I've tried some of the answers i've found here but it returns the same string. I have two set of arrays.
set A: elemnts = ["String1", "String2", "String3/"] set B gets each character of a s string from A to evaluate, an replace in case "/" is found.
for(var i=0; i< elements.length; i++){
arrayV = elements[i].value;
for (var j=0; j <= arrayV.length; j++) {
if(arrayV.charAt(j) === '/'){
arrayV[j] = "-";
}
}
elements[i]= arrayV;
}
This is how i solved it (i learned something today):
var elements = document.getElementsByName("inputCont");
for(var i=0; i< elements.length; i++){
var rString = elements[i].value;
rString = rString.replace('/','-');
elements[i].value = rString;
}
In this example I use the function map() to create a new array and replace() to replace the character.
var elemnts = ["String1", "String2", "String3/"];
var result = elemnts.map(str => str.replace('/','-'));
console.log(result);OK, I missed the part about selecting the input elements. You can "cast" elements as an array and then iterate over that using map():
var elements = document.getElementsByName("inputCont");
var result = [...elements].map(elm => elm.value.replace('/', '-'));
console.log(result);<form name="form01">
<input type="text" name="inputCont" value="String" />
<input type="text" name="inputCont" value="String" />
<input type="text" name="inputCont" value="String/" />
</form>
