Need a script to replace strings in a list. 1

[Markh51]

Hi,

Can anyone do me a quick script which will check a comma delimited list for an occurance of a given word, and if it exists, remove it.

i.e. LIST = "value1,value2,value3,value1"

I need the script to check the list for ALL occurances of a word which is passed to it via a variable. So if the word which is passed to the script is "value1", it should then remove both the "value1" from the list, then return the edited list back as the same variable it was given.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Mark

function removeFromList(wordList,targetWord,delimiter){
 var wordArray = wordList.split(delimiter);
 wordList = '';
 for(x=0; x<wordArray.length; x++){
  if(wordArray[x] != targetWord){
   if(wordList != ''){
    wordList = wordList + ',' + wordArray[x];
   }
   else{
    wordList = wordArray[x];
   }
  }
 }
 return wordList;
}

function ReplaceDemo(){
var r, re; //Declare variables.
var ss = "The man hit the ball with the bat.\n";
ss += "while the fielder caught the ball with the glove.";
re = /The/g; //Create regular expression pattern.
r = ss.replace(re, "A" //Replace "A" with "The".
return(r); //Return string with replacement made.
}
