Hi,

I have an ASP application and I need some help in formatting a Javascript client side text string. I have the following 2 text fields passed from my asp application:

FIELD 1 Contains key word descriptions as follows:

*SALE*All participants in Sale#*COUNTRY*who reside in# etc.


FIELD 2 Contains user input:

SALE NY7698 COUNTRY US CA

Expected result:

All participants in Sale NY7698 who reside in US CA.

Thank you,

Rick

rickpill, can't you use a document.write() syntax to format the text??
EX: document.write(FIELD1 + FIELD2)

I have this little thing, Advanced Delusionary Schizophrenia with Involuntary Narcissistic Rage.
It's no big deal really...

Yes, I could use document.write, but I need to substitute the user's input with text field 1 first. Text field 1 contains all possible key words, Text field 2 (user's input) does not.


Thanks,

Rick

Using split to create an array
build your sub strings then replace??...

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
var stra = new Array();
function sub_strg() {
d = document.test;
stra = d.rvals.value.split(&quot; &quot;);
str_sale = &quot; &quot; +stra[1]+ &quot; &quot;;
str_country = &quot; &quot; + stra[3] + &quot; &quot; + stra[4] + &quot; &quot;;
alert(str_sale);
alert(str_country);
strb = d.nwvalue.value;
strc = strb.replace(/\*SALE\*/,&quot;&quot;);
strc = strc.replace(/\#\*COUNTRY\*/,str_sale);
strc = strc.replace(/\# etc/,str_country);
d.nwvalue.value = strc;
}
</script>

</head>
<body>
<h2>After this that</h2><form name=&quot;test&quot;>
Start Values:<br>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;rvals&quot; size=&quot;35&quot;
value=&quot;SALE NY7698 COUNTRY US CA&quot;>
<br><br>New String:<br>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;nwvalue&quot; size=&quot;50&quot;
value=&quot;*SALE*All participants in Sale#*COUNTRY*who
reside in# etc.&quot;>
<a href=&quot;javascript:sub_strg()&quot;>Split, Replace Test</a>
</body>
</html>
