jquery-replacetext v1.1.0

jQuery replaceText

This jQuery plugin searches the text-node children of all elements in a jQuery object, and replaces matched substrings with new content. The new content can either be text or DOM nodes.

Usage

.replaceText( search, replace );

search

Type: String or RegExp

What to search for.

replace

Type: String or Element or Array or jQuery

The content that will be inserted in place of the matched substrings. A String value will be inserted in the text node; any other content will split the text node and be inserted between the parts.

Note: HTML code in a String argument is not evaluated.

.replaceText( search, function );

search

Type: String or RegExp

What to search for.

function

Type: Function( String match1, ... , String matchN ) => (String or Element or Array or jQuery)

A function that returns the replacement value, which is interpreted in the same way as a static replacement value.

If the search argument is a RegExp with parenthesized groups, then the function will receive these groups as arguments.

Note: The full substring match is not included unless the entire regular expression is parenthesized.
