Examples to perform String Replace using jQuery<\/h2>\n

As the name suggest “jQuery string replace”, we will need a piece of string to work with. So let’s see how we can do find and replace in a string using jQuery.<\/p>\n

Example 1:\u00a0Find & Replace String with Space using jQuery<\/h3>\n
<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\nvar string = 'This is some text.';\n\n\/\/Replace text with space\nvar new_string = string.replace('some', ' ');\n\nalert(string + '\\n' + new_string);\n\n<\/script><\/pre>\n
Example 2:\u00a0Find & Replace String with new\/another word using jQuery<\/h3>\n
<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\nvar string = 'This is some text.';\n\n\/\/Replace word with new word\nvar new_string = string.replace('some', 'new');\n\nalert(string + '\\n' + new_string);\n\n<\/script><\/pre>\n
Example 3:\u00a0Find & Remove a Word using jQuery<\/h3>\n
<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\nvar string = 'This is some text.';\n\n\/\/Simply remove a word\nvar new_string = string.replace('some', '');\n\nalert(string + '\\n' + new_string);\n\n<\/script><\/pre>\n
Example 4:\u00a0Find & Remove a Word from a Textbox\/ Textbox value using jQuery<\/h3>\n
Lets assume that you have a Textbox on a page with ID “my_textbox” and it contains the value ‘This is some text’. Now you want to remove the word “some” from the textbox value using jQuery. You can do it like so.<\/p>\n
<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\n\/\/Read the value of the textbox into a string\nvar string = $(\"#my_textbox\").val();\n\/\/Simply remove the word word 'some'\nvar new_string = string.replace('some', '');\n\nalert(string + '\\n' + new_string);\n\/\/If you want to replace the existing value of the textbox with the new string value, then you may do this:\n$(\"#my_textbox\").val(new_string);\n<\/script><\/pre>\n
Simple, isn’t it?<\/h5>\n
