  This should be really simple, but for some reason I'm not getting it. I want to match on "do" but not "doc". It's possible that there could be text after "do", but "do" can also be alone. For my test, I chose to test for it alone and I can't match "do" without matching "doc" too. I want this to mat... read more »

  @ban I'm not sure what you mean, but here is a way to show the first 12 and block out the last 4 if that's what you mean. Here is the number: 1234567890123456 Here is the replacement formula: string.replace(/(\d{12})(\d{4})/,'$1$$$$$$$$') Again, remember there are 2 $'s for every $ to output. Th... read more »

  If this is what you're looking for, this is what it does: string.replace(/[0-9]/g,'$') Replace all numerics in the string with '$'. So 11223 would be replaced with $$$$$. I believe your initial string, string.replace(/^([0-9]+)([0-9]{4})$/g,'$'), looked for 1 or more numbers (which it can only ge... read more »

  I am new to regexp and have spent some time trying to come up with an expression that changes a single-quote that isn't inside a double-quote to a "#". I finally got really close, even though I don't really understand how it is working. The part I need help on is getting it to work when the very fir... read more »
