I need a function in JavaScript that takes one string as input, replaces many substrings with their corresponding values, then returns the result. For example:
function findreplace(inputStr) {
const values = {"a": "A",
"B": "x",
"c": "C"};
// In this example, if inputStr is "abc", then outputStr should be "AbC".
return outputStr
}
I know how to individually find and replace, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to do this with many pairs of (case-sensitive) values at once.
Thank you!
Just iterate over values
with the help of Object.entries(values)
:
function findreplace(inputStr) {
const values = {
"a": "A",
"B": "x",
"c": "C"
};
for (const [search, replace] of Object.entries(values)) {
inputStr = inputStr.replace(search, replace);
}
return inputStr;
}
console.log(findreplace("abc"));
