I'd like to replace character inside a string, e.g.
Drafts [2]
To:
Drafts [3]
This regex returns only Drafts 3:
str.replace(/[(.+?)]/g, 3)
Thanks for help in advance
Do you need something more than below?
var num=2 // parse this from drafts [2]
num++;
var newstr=str.replace(/[(.+?)]/g, [+num+])
Or the brackets can change to <> {} per input?
You can also give a function instead of the replace-string.
var str = Drafts [2];
function replacer(match, p1, p2, p3, offset, string) {
return p1 + (1+parseInt(p2)) + p3;
}
var newstr=str.replace(/([[(])(.+?)([])])/g, replacer);
alert(newstr); // alerts Drafts [3]
