Javascript regex replace - swap position
I need a javascript regex replace function to turn
<font anything_possible><span anything_different_possible></span>
into
<span anything_different_possible></span><font anything_possibl开发者_如何学Pythone>
I tried many combinations but failed. Any help appreciated.
I think this should do it:
var original = '<font anything_possible><span anything_different_possible></span>';
var replaced = original.replace(/<font (.*?)><span (.*?)><\/span>/,"<font $2><span $1></span>");
Note that the regex matches your 'anything possible' and 'anything_different_possible' pieces, while the replacement-text contains these matches in reverse order ($2 and $1). So: everytime a submatch is made (with round braces()), it is later available as $n.
Hope this solves your problem
Edit:
As some users point out, if this is about manipulating the DOM, it is probably better to use the DOM functions for that.
But i can imagine situations where you might need a string-replace function like this.
