Text-transform

[Jerome]

Hi,

I like to transform the following.

I have:

holiday.257
or
vacation.8976

The result should be:

hol/257
or
vac/8976

In words:

the first 3 letters from the word before the point, than a forward slash, and the complete number after the point.

I tried:

var var1=holiday.257
var1=var1.replace(/(\w{3}).(\w{3})/,'$1/$2');

But my knowledge is to limited!

Thanks,
Jerome

sString=sString.replace(/^(\w{3})\w+\.(\d+)/,'$1/$2');

Fantastic!

By the way, very well written tutorial about regular expressions!

Nice week-end

Well, thank you.

It misses one vital thing which that code used, though: Replace patterns.

I've been thinking of creating a tutorial about string manipulation to make up for that lack, but I've not gotten around to it yet.

The problem with it and working as well, You have no time for important things......
