Substitute for .replace

win b · ‎03-08-2022

Hi i would like to know that is there a code or substitute for .replace? I got a Script Include which generate a PDF but i got a problem encountered it only replace one declared value and doesnt replace the same second variable. What method should i use to replace it all? here is my example below.

I got a variable named watashi and qwerty were i place it in the first row and the last row in the table but the last row didnt display my blanked value but only brackets were the variable value should be place in. and here is my code in the SI

iis it possible to replace it all or is there a .replaceall command for me to replace the duplicate assigned values?

Hi,

You can certainly use:

replaceAll()

Which would remove the same term from the entire string. So if the string was 5 paragraphs long and you wanted to remove the word "and"...using just replace would remove the first one it finds, replaceAll would remove ALL instances of "and" from the string.

You could convert the string to a regular expression and do a global replacement. Something like this for example:

var text = 'qwerty';
var rep = new RegExp('\\' + text + '\\]', 'g')
html_body = html_body.replace(reg, current.variables.qwerty.getDisplayValue())

//rinse and repeat with each text value

I hope this helps!
