Replace a character in the string using JavaScript

Steve,

Thanks a lot for this example.

It looks that I will need to use this for my current project and use a lot of it.

Thanks again.

Ilya.

You could also use the global match attribute of the RegExp ... that is the "g" placed after the RegExp

.replace(/ü/g,"ue")

Thanks a lot. I will try this as well.

FYI, Steve L Walker​'s original code:

    this.rawValue = str.replace(/\s/,"\n");

Actually replaces any whitespace "\s" character with a newline "\n" character, not a carriage return "\r" character as stated in the answer and requested by the OP. While the newline character the OP got is likely what they actually needed, an OSX and Linux end-of-line sequence, the statements seem to indicate the opposite has occurred.

To replace any whitespace "\s" character with a carriage return "\r" character, use an "\r" instead of a "\n":

    this.rawValue = str.replace(/\s/,"\r");

Note: This is a valid end-of-line sequence for legacy Mac systems, but not for any modern OS. DOS and Windows use "\r\n", while Linux and OSX use "\n".

To replace any whitespace "\s" character with a carriage return "\r" character AND a newline "\n" character (a Windows end-of-line sequence) use an "\r\n":

    this.rawValue = str.replace(/\s/,"\r\n");
