Hello,

I have some text in a #textbox,
I would like all hyphens “-” to be replaced by “/”.
How to do this with code please?

Thanks in advance

Like you already said → “replace all” → replaceAll( “curreentString” , “replacedString” )

const myString = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. If the dog reacted, was it really lazy?';

console.log(myString.replaceAll('dog', 'monkey'));

Thank you for your feedback, I wrote its but its not working :

const myString = $w("TextBox1").value; 
    console.log(myString.replaceAll ('⬚', ' / ')) ;

  1. Add a button to your page → ID: “button1”
  2. Replace your code with the following…
$w.onReady(function() {
    $w('#button1').onClick(()=>{console.log("Button clicked!");
        const myString = $w("#TextBox1").value; console.log("TEXT: ", myString);
        let myReplacedString = myString.replaceAll ('⬚', ' / ');
        console.log("Replaced-Text: ", myReplacedString);
    });
});

Thank you very much for your help but the console shows me this:

undefined is not an object (evaluating 'myString.replaceAll')

Show your SETUP!

Don’t you have a TEXT-BOX where you have inserted some TEXT ?
Please use the implemented CONSOLE-LOGS to DEBUG your own CODE.

How to do that?

When you are using google-chrome, or microsotf-edge → press F-12 and navigate to console. Or use the integrated CONSOLE of your wix-editor in preview-mode.

Investigate all results → STEP-by-STEP!

It’s good it’s fixed however the change is displayed in the console but how now to return the modified text in the # textbox1 ?

So you got your → REPLACED-TEXT…

let myReplacedString = myString.replaceAll('⬚',' / '); 
console.log("Replaced-Text: ", myReplacedString);

Now feed your Text-Box with your gotten results…

$w("#TextBox1").value =  myReplacedString;

…or generate a second Text-Box where you want to show the changed results…

$w("#TextBox2").value =  myReplacedString;
