Regex Croatian letters

[Deks]

Hello,

 

i have small problem with replacing croatian letters. I am using jQuery, and

am trying to replace croatian letters č,ć,š,đ,ž but dunno how to put this in regex.

 

For now i have regex for all chars:

 

$('#text').replace(/\b[a-z]/g, 'somechars' );

 

Unfortunately it wont reconize croatian special letters.

 

Thanks.

Regards

Can you explain what you're actually trying to do? If you did replace(/č/g, '') it would remove them. If you wanted to remove all but regular a-z A-Z 0-9 and _ you could use /[^\w]/g

 

I don't really know what you're goal is.

With a literal /č/g you'd have to worry about the file encoding (the file containing that code). If you look up the individual characters you want to replace in Unicode they'll be called "U+ABCD SOME TEXT DESCRIPTION" (where ABCD is a hex number). You can copy that number into a regex like

/[\uABCD]/g

 

Given that č is U+010D, ć is U+0107, š is U+0161, đ is U+0111, and ž is U+0173,

/[\u010D\u0107\u0161\u0111\u0173]/g

will match those five characters. As for exactly what you want to do with this information, I'm not sure either.

 

Side note: I'm pretty sure there's no "Croatian" block in Unicode, otherwise this would be a lot easier. Also Javascript doesn't support the \p{} construct you can find in Perl and PHP/PCRE, so you can't specify complete alphabets (like how a \w represents [a-zA-Z0-9_]).

It looks to me like you're gonna have to do each char individually. Have fun. Hopefully their alphabet ain't too huge. lol

 

The hex column here can help ya out. I'm not sure that's the whole alphabet though.
