I've a text variable in the following format -
value1|34|value2|45|value3|67|value4|687|
Now I just have the text 'value3' with me and I've to remove that value along with its associated number from the above string. After removing it I've to get -
value1|34|value2|45|value4|687|
Note: The numbers in the pipelines are prefixed with its value string. Ex - Value|56|. So if I've to remove a value I've to remove it along with its number.
It looks like you could benefit from using something like JSON as a storage format instead.
'value1|34|value2|45|value3|67|value4|687|'.replace(/value3\|\d+\|/,'')
You can
var s = "value1|34|value2|45|value3|0000|value4|687|";
var r = "value3";
s = s.replace(new RegExp("(?:^|\\|)" + r + "\\|\\d+"), "")
Includes start-guard (wont match xxxvalue3)
var input = 'value1|34|value2|45|value3|67|value4|687|',
remove = 'value3',
result = input.replace(RegExp(remove + '\\|\\d+\\|'), '');
console.log(result); // 'value1|34|value2|45|value4|687|'
\d (which only matches digits) with a character class that would match everything you want to match, e.g. [0-9a-zA-Z\(\)\s-], or simply use [^|].
