I try to wrap string with # hashtag character follow any language , below is my code after I add u shows error Invalid flag supplied to RegExp constructor., how to solve it?
javascript
text.replace(/#([a-z0-9_\pL_]+)/igu, '<a href="'+url+'/$1">@$1</a>');
Here is an approach that uses the XRegExp library (with the XRegExp Unicode Base add-on):
var hashtags = XRegExp('#([a-z0-9_\\p{L}]+)', 'ig'),
input = $('#input'),
output = $('#output'),
url = 'http://example.com';
input.on('keyup', function() {
output.text(XRegExp.replace(input.val(), hashtags, '<a href="'+url+'/$1">@$1</a>'));
}).trigger('keyup');pre {
white-space: pre-wrap; /* CSS 3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
}
input {
width: 98%;

<label>Input:</label>
<input id='input' value='An example with #日本人 and #English but not #$%!'/><br>
<label>Output:</label>
<pre id='output'></pre>
uis not a valid modifier?u? JavaScript is Unicode-aware already.uonly select english characteruthen it doesn't work at all, or select any character; because - as noted - it's both unnecessary and an invalid modifier.
