I am trying to replace a string like:

var str = "@xxx [email protected]"

by a new string contains HTML like:

<a href>@xxx</a> [email protected]

I tried to this way to replace but not correct:

str = str.replace(/@xxx/g, "<a href>@xxx</a>")

With this way, it will return HTML like:

<a href>@xxx</a> test<a href>@xxx</a>.com

I just want to replace whole word "@xxx". How can I do that?

Let's just keep it nice and clean....

var string = '@xxx [email protected]',
regger = /(@\S+)\s(.+.com)/,
output = string.replace(regger,"<a href='$1'>$2</a>")
