rhyspaterson Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hey guys, Have a bit of a problem, and am quite unsure of how to fix it. I have a variable that is returned to me that looks like this: Policy=frank; IP Address=10.10.10.10 I want to strip the string and turn it into an array so that i have only 'frank' and '10.10.10.10' (array[0] and array[1] respectively). Any suggestions my elite coders? Cheers! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79038-solved-removing-certain-characters/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpQuestioner Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Here You Go: <script language="javascript"> var Policy="frank"; var IPAddress="10.10.10.10"; var myinfo = new Array(""+Policy+"",""+IPAddress+""); document.write(myinfo[0] + "<br>"); document.write(myinfo[1]); </script> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79038-solved-removing-certain-characters/#findComment-400007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyspaterson Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately i think i may have not been clear enough. I have a single variable with multiple bits of information within it. var foo = 'Policy=frank; IP Address=10.10.10.10'; I would like to strip the foo variable of everything except 'frank' and '10.10.10.10' and split it into an array. Please note that 'frank' could be any name and '10.10.10.10' could be any IP address. I was thinking of something that would search for the = signs, capture everything after it until it reaches a space, then looked for the next = sign and do the same... but i have no idea how to go about it.

phpQuestioner Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 look into JavaScript search() Method if you use the script I provided along with PHP to get your JavaScript variables and incorporate the search method into this script; it should still work the way you want it to.

rhyspaterson Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Thanks for that! Turned it into a function and changed a few things: /* * Clean up the string */ splitStringToArray : function ( string ) { var string = dController.policy; var mixedArray = new Array(); var temporaryArray = new Array(); var array = new Array(); mixedArray = string.split(';'); for(x = 0; x < mixedArray.length; x++) { temporaryArray = mixedArray[x].split('='); array[x] = temporaryArray[1]; } return array; } , Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79038-solved-removing-certain-characters/#findComment-400741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
