Hi

How do you replace a char in a string?

eg var d = f.replace(char(160), "-");

Thanks

Something like this:-

Code:

txt = txt.replace(/Ä/g,"-");
txt = txt.replace(/ä/g,"-");
txt = txt.replace(/Ë/g,"-");
txt = txt.replace(/ë/g,"-");

Or perhaps you mean:-

Code:

<script type = "text/javascript">

var tstr = "Hello Ältere World";
var bstr = '';

for (i=0; i<tstr.length; i++) {
if (tstr.charCodeAt(i)>127) {  // outside ASCII range
bstr += '-';  // change to a hyphen
} 
else {
bstr += tstr.charAt(i);
}
}
alert (bstr);


</script>
