To prefix certain characters in a string using regex, you can use the String.prototype.replace()
method in JavaScript. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
// Define the string that you want to update let str = "Hello World!"; // Define the characters that you want to prefix let charactersToPrefix = /[aeiou]/gi; // Use the replace method with a regex pattern to prefix the specified characters let updatedStr = str.replace(charactersToPrefix, 'X$&'); console.log(updatedStr); // Outputs: HXello WXorld! |
In this example, the regex pattern [aeiou]
matches any vowels in the string, and the $&
in the replacement string is used to refer to the matched substring. The letter 'X' is added as a prefix to each matched vowel. You can modify the regex pattern and replacement string based on the specific characters you want to prefix in your string.
