Multiple Regex on String
- by George
How can I apply multiple regexs to a single string?
For instance, a user inputs the following into a text area:
red bird
blue cat
black dog
and I want to replace each carriage return with a comma and each space with an underscore so the final string reads as red_bird,blue_cat,black_dog.
I've tried variations in syntax along the lines of the following so far:
function formatTextArea() {
var textString = document.getElementById('userinput').value;
var formatText = textString.replace(
new RegExp( "\\n", "g" ),",",
new RegExp( "\\s", "g"),"_");
alert(formatText);
}
