JavaScript (2) String

1) Return the length of a string

var txt = "Hello World!";
document.write(txt.length);

2) Style strings

var txt = "Hello World!";

document.write("<p>Big: " + txt.big() + "</p>");
document.write("<p>Small: " + txt.small() + "</p>");

document.write("<p>Bold: " + txt.bold() + "</p>");
document.write("<p>Italic: " + txt.italics() + "</p>");

document.write("<p>Fixed: " + txt.fixed() + "</p>");
document.write("<p>Strike: " + txt.strike() + "</p>");

document.write("<p>Fontcolor: " + txt.fontcolor("green") + "</p>");
document.write("<p>Fontsize: " + txt.fontsize(6) + "</p>");

document.write("<p>Subscript: " + txt.sub() + "</p>");
document.write("<p>Superscript: " + txt.sup() + "</p>");

document.write("<p>Link: " + txt.link("http://www.w3schools.com") + "</p>");
document.write("<p>Blink: " + txt.blink() + " (does not work in IE, Chrome, or Safari)</p>");

3) Convert a string to lower case or upper case letters.

var txt="Hello World!";
document.write(txt.toLowerCase() + "<br />");
document.write(txt.toUpperCase() + "<br />");

4) search for a specified value within a string.

var str="Hello world!";
document.write(str.match("world") + "<br />");
document.write(str.match("World") + "<br />");
document.write(str.match("worlld") + "<br />");
document.write(str.match("world!"));

5) replace a specified value with another value in a string.

var str="Visit Microsoft!";
document.write(str.replace("Microsoft","W3Schools"));

6) return the position

var str="Hello world!";
document.write(str.indexOf("d") + "<br />");
document.write(str.indexOf("WORLD") + "<br />");
document.write(str.indexOf("world"));

7) Regular Expression
// perform case-insensitive matching (ignore case)

var str = "Visit W3Schools";
var patt = /w3schools/i;
document.write(str.match(patt));
document.write("<br/>");

// perform a (global) match
// find all matches rather than stopping after the first match

var str="Is this all there is?";
var patt=/is/g;
document.write(str.match(patt));
document.write("<br/>");

var str="Is this all there is?";
var patt=/is/gi;
document.write(str.match(patt));

// test

var patt=new RegExp("e");
document.write(patt.test("The best things in life are free"));
document.write("<br/>");

// execute

var patt=new RegExp("e");
document.write(patt.exec("The best things in life are free"));

// replace

var str="Every man in the world! Every woman on earth!";
var patt=/man/g;
var str=str.replace(patt,"person");
document.write(str+"<br />");

patt=/(wo)?man/g;
patt.compile(patt); 
str=str.replace(patt,"person");
document.write(str);
