  Search and replace item in array ?

  Posted by Shai Benshoshan on March 19, 2018 at 4:22 pm

  Probably there is a better way to do it:
  I am trying to replace all the instances of a specific font in an array :

  This method is working to find “Roboto” and replace it with “Open Sans”

  toSort = [“Verdana”, “Roboto”, “Times New Roman”, “Verdana”, “Roboto”];
  var str = toSort.toString();
  var patt1 = /Roboto/;
  var result = str .replace(str.match(patt1), “Open Sans”);
  alert(result);

  Whan I try to search globally (var patt1 = /Roboto/g;) it’s not working at all (not finding “Roboto” at all );

  My final goal is to set the search word and the replace word as array elements :
  this is not successful at all for me :

  Thank you for any help or idea

  
toSort = ["Verdana","Roboto","Times New Roman","Verdana", "Roboto"];
desFont = ["Exo2","Open Sans"];

  var str = toSort.toString();
  var src = toSort[0].toString();
  var rplc = desFont[0].toString();

  var patt1 = /src*/g;
var result = str .replace((str.match(patt1)), rplc);
alert( result);
