Re: [jQuery] generate folder name

[Alexandre Plennevaux]

Hi Sean,

I indeed did it via regular expressions:)

Here is the final code:

$("input#title").keyup(function(){
        var oldVal = $(this).val();
        oldVal = oldVal.toLowerCase();
        newFolder = oldVal.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"").replace(/[ 
_:&;\"']/g,"-").replace(/[*'²"+!?\/@°\]\[<>]/g,"").replace(/[éèë]/g,"e").replace(/[ï]/g,"i").replace(/[äà]/g,"a").replace(/[ùûü]/g,"u");
        $("input#project_folder").val(newFolder);

        });

Alexandre,


You should be able to simply test the folder name string against a regular 
expression.
