How to insert a newline character after every 200 characters with jQuery
I have a textbox that I use to insert some information. I want to insert a newline character after every 200 characters开发者_开发百科 using jQuery or JavaScript.
For instance:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
In this example, I want to insert a newline chracter after every 200 characters. How can I do this?
Break the string after every 200 characters, add a newline, and repeat this process with the remaining string:
function addNewlines(str) {
var result = '';
while (str.length > 0) {
result += str.substring(0, 200) + '\n';
str = str.substring(200);
}
return result;
}
You can do this is just one line of code.
var newStr = str.replace(/(.{200})/g, "$1\n")
Works well if you want prefixes or postfixes on every line as well
var newStr = str.replace(/(.{200})/g, "prefix- $1 -postfix\n")
Try this function it is just plain javascript. It takes the string and the number of characters to break after.
function addBreaks(s,c) {
var l = s.length;
var i = 0;
while (l > c) {
l = l-c;
i=i+c;
s = s.substring(0,c)+"\n"+s.substring(c);
}
return s;
}
var a=' aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa';
addBreaks(a,200);

$("#text").keyup(function()//Detect keypress in the textarea
{
var text_area_box =$(this).val();//Get the values in the textarea
var max_numb_of_words = 200;//Set the Maximum Number of chars
var main = text_area_box.length*100;//Multiply the lenght on words x 100
var value= (main / max_numb_of_words);//Divide it by the Max numb of words previously declared
if(text_area_box.length >= max_numb_of_words) {
//add break
}
return false;
});
If user is entering that text you can do the following:
Implement keydown event and whenever you reach the 200 count... insert a new line character and append it again.
If you are getting it from database, just before setting the value read that string and insert a new line character manually.

var lines = text.split(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm);
for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
if (lines[i].length > maxlength) {
lines[i] = lines[i].substring(0, maxlength) + "\n";
}
}
$(this).val(lines.join(''));
});
</script>To anyone who came here looking to add the new line after each word rather than abruptly right at the character:
function addWordNewLine(str, breakpoint=80){
var words = str.split(" ");
var numChars = 0;
var mult = 1;
for(var i = 0; i < words.length; i++){
numChars += words[i].length;
// if( we hit a multiple of our breakpoint number )
if(numChars > breakpoint * mult){
words[i] += '\n';
mult++;
}
}
// As we re-arrange our text, make sure that a newline isn't followed
// with a space so that there's no odd single-space indenting
var p = words.join(" ").replaceAll("\n ", "\n");
return p;
}

var formatted = addWordNewLine(str); // default breaks after word after every 80 chars
var wideFormatted = addWordNewLine(str, 200); // breaks after word after every 200 chars
