[MJB3K]

Hi, i have this function i am making and would like to convert all the occurances of --------[newstep]-------- into <table><tr><td bgcolor=#CCCCCC>test</td></tr></table>

function updatePreview(){
	var tf = document.form1;
	var p = document.getElementById("preview");
	
	var theTxt = tf.tutorial.value;
	theTxt.replace(/--------[newstep]--------/,"<table><tr><td bgcolor=#CCCCCC>test</td></tr></table>");
	
	
	var str = theTxt; // + pp;
	
	p.innerHTML = str;
}

This.
[tt]
var theTxt = tf.tutorial.value;
[red]var str=[/red]theTxt.replace(/--------[red]\[/red][newstep]--------/,"<table><tr><td bgcolor=#CCCCCC>test</td></tr></table>"); // + pp;
[/tt]
It replaces the first encounter of the combination of characters you've in mind. If you want to replace every instance appeared in the theTxt, add a global flag, like this.
[tt]
var str=theTxt.replace(/--------\[newstep]--------/[blue]g[/blue],"<table><tr><td bgcolor=#CCCCCC>test</td></tr></table>"); // + pp;
[/tt]

that works great. just another question. how could i change multiple strings??

e.g. i would like to convert all the \n into <br /> and --------[newpage]-------- into <table><tr><td bgcolor=#666666>test</td></tr></table> at the same time. is this posible?

Martin
