Expression to select and affect specific characters in a text

[Balazs Kun]

Hello!

It works fine and thanks for sharing this code.

How could I select multiple characters? For example I want to select all “a” and “e” letters from a string.
I tried use an array but didn’t work.

Thanks!

Something like this should work:


txt = text.sourceText.replace(/\r?\n|\r/g,'');
myChars = "ae";
result = 0;
for (i = 0; i < myChars.length; i++){
if (txt[textIndex-1] == myChars[i]){
result = 100;
break;
}
}
result

Perfect.
Thank You!

Add accolades to avoid a syntax error:

txt = text.sourceText.replace(/\r?\n|\r/g,”);

myChar = “:”;

if (txt[textIndex-1] == myChar) {100} else {0};
