I have string looking like this:
01
02
03
99
I'd like to parse these to make them into strings like:
1. 2. 3. 99. etc.
The numbers are a maximum of 2 characters. Also I have to parse some more numbers later in the source string so I would like to learn the substring equivalent in javascript. Can someone give me advice on how I can do. Previously I had been doing it in C# with the following:
int.Parse(RowKey.Substring(0, 2)).ToString() + "."
Thanks
Why, parseInt of course.
// Add 2 until end of string
var originalA = "01020399";
for (var i = 0; i < originalA.length; i += 2)
{
document.write(parseInt(originalA.substr(i, 2), 10) + ". ");
}
// Split on carriage returns
var originalB = "01\n02\n03\n99";
var strArrayB = originalB.split("\n");
for (var i = 0; i < strArrayB.length; i++)
{
document.write(parseInt(strArrayB[i], 10) + ". ");
}
// Replace the leading zero with regular expressions
var originalC = "01\n02\n03\n99";
var strArrayC = originalC.split("\n");
var regExpC = /^0/;
for (var i = 0; i < strArrayC.length; i++)
{
document.write(strArrayC[i].replace(regExpC, "") + ". ");
}
The other notes are that JavaScript is weakly typed, so "a" + 1 returns "a1". Additionally, for substrings you can choose between substring(start, end) and substr(start, length). If you're just trying to pull a single character, "abcdefg"[2] will return "c" (zero-based index, so 2 means the third character). You usually won't have to worry about type-casting when it comes to simple numbers or letters.
+ to combine a string and a number. If you're uncomfortable with that, substitute parseInt(test.substr(i, 2)).toString() above.
parseInt evaluates strings beginning with "0" in octal, so parseInt("07") returns 7 but parseInt("08") and parseInt("09") return 0.use parseInt function.
parseInt(09) //this will give you 9
var myString = parseInt("09").toString()+". "+parseInt("08").toString();
string = '01\n02\n03\n99';
array = string.split('\n');
string2 = '';
for (i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
array[i] = parseInt(array[i]);
string2 += array[i] + '. ';
}
document.write(string2);
Substring in JavaScript works like this:
string.substring(from, to);
where from is inclusive and to is exclusive. You can also use slice:
string.slice(from, to)
where from is inclusive and to is exclusive. The difference between slice and substring is with slice you can specify negative numbers. For example, from = -1 indicates the last character. from(-1, -3) would give you the last 2 characters of the string.
With both methods if you don't specify end then you will get all the characters to the end.

Ii they are always 2 digits how about;
var s = "01020399";
var result = []
for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i+=2)
result.push(parseInt(s.substr(i, 2), 10) + ".")
alert( result[2] ) // 3.
alert( result.join(" ") ) // 1. 2. 3. 99.
