data.replace to format all '/' to '_'.

BalaKrishnanDhanuskodi

Happy Evening one and All,

I trying to replace all the slash '/' to '_' of the invoice file data. following is the observation.

data = 'INV/001/002/AXS001'
desiered out = INV_001_002_AXS001

{
targets : 2,
render: function (data, type, row ) {
data_replace = data.replace('/', '_');
return '<a href="invoice/'+data_replace+'.pdf">' + data + '</a>';
},

Option 1 - resulted 'INV_001/002/AXS001' - is not right format

Option -2 - currently using this to get the desired out and I am sure this is not the right code.

{
targets : 2,
render: function (data, type, row ) {
 data_replace = data.replace('/', '_');
 data_replace1 = data_replace.replace('/', '_');
 data_replace2 = data_replace1.replace('/', '_');
 data_replace3 = data_replace2.replace('/', '_');
return '<a href="invoice/'+data_replace3+'.pdf">' + data + '</a>';
},

Any help would be grateful.

The js "replace" function requires a "global" parameter if it is to replace more than one instance.

Happy Evening Tangerine,

Following option is not working

data_replace = data.replace('/\//g', '_');

Drop the single quotes around the regex to make it a regex object:

data_replace = data.replace(/\//g, '_');
