How do I create an array of strings from a string, eg."hello world" would return ["hello", "world"]. This would need to take into account punctuation marks, etc.There's probably a great RegEx solution for this, I'm just not capable of finding it.
View 7 RepliesIs it possible to split a string like "Lorem ispum dolor, sit amet. Howdy doody." into an array of words without commas and periods, in one operation?I've tried words:Array = startString.split(String.fromCharCode(32,44,46));i guess the reason my example doesn't work is because it searced for " ,." to split the string.

Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.

For a rather complex search function I need to get the first letter of each word entered into an input field. At first glance this may not seem like a big problem if every word is neatly seperated by a space.
Although people can enter whatever they want into the field I only want to work with the words that start with a-z or A-Z.
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how I can determine if a character in the string falls into this selection. One of the possibilities is to use charCodeAt(), but that's rather rough. I can walk through the string using indexOf() but I may have trouble finding the next word if characters other than a space come into play.

View 3 Replieshere's my string....
var shapeString:String = "Princess,Round,Radiant,Princess,Heart,Round,Radiant,Emerald,Radiant,Radiant,Pear";
I need to figure out how to return the the 3 items that occur most in the order of highest to lowest. In this example it would end up being.
newString = "Radient,Princess,Round";
I imagine I would use indexOf somehow but I am not going to know what pattern I am searching for in the string so it is just based on the items that end up in shapeString based on a bunch of selected elements.
I have a string provided to my flash file that I need to break into a max of 3 sentences(strings).
I have written some actionscript to break it up by set lengths, but I also need it to not break words up.
To test you can place the following code in a blank as2 file.
Code:
var personalMessage:String = "You got this far so we reckon that you could be curious enough to learn a little more, we�ll contact you shortly to answer any questions you may have.";
_root.myArray = new Array();

I'm creating a flash application, which loads a file from a server, and stores it in a string. I'm wanting to find the substring within that string, which is inbetween two known substrings.
Note. I don't want to do this with reg-ex as i'd like it to be easily reusable.
Ideally I'd like a function which i can re-use, by passing the beginning and ending substrings.
e.g. something along these lines..
function getSubString(start:String, end:String):String
Edit: There may be more than one instance of the 'start' and 'end' substrings within the string, i'm wanting it between the first instance of each.
is there a way to deserialize strings to objects in actionscript:i.e. var str:String = "{ id: 1, value: ['a', 500] }";should be made into an appropriate actionscript object.
View 2 Repliesmy objective is:
1.Read in a text file. e.g containing text like this, teacher/student/1/sn/2/3/4/5/9/f/tn/02/
2.pass it to a string.
3.then beable to extract different parts of the string and place them in different arrays.
The bit I dont know how to do is the extracting specific parts of the string? Is it possible to search for / and to treat what comes after it as a specific peice of information until the next / is read? Or perhaps there is a more efficient approach?
i'm trying to write a function but with no luck. seems my brain capacity's limited the function will take two parameters: a term to search for, and a string to be searched. what i want the function to return is a new string containing the term (the parameter) along with a couple of words before and after it (as found in the search string).

View 2 RepliesI want something where I click a button, and it replaces words with other synonyms automatically. My thoughts are:
set up array
(array1=array2)
array1="word1","word2","word3"

search text for word in array1
if find in text= word in array1
replace with random word in array2
Would anyone know how to set this up, or point me in the right direction?

I'm trying to have 6 numbers randomly grabbed from the list, so I made a function to find a random number between a given "Low" and "High" numbers, then another to continuously add 1 if it's already one of the other numbers(I'm pretty sure the method of that part, I could have taken a short cut.)Where it says to trace the two numbers near the top of the find5RandomNumbers function, they trace 29 and 40. But near the bottom where it's told to trace all 6 items, they come back as "NaN."[code]
