I have a var that contains a big list of words (millions) in this format:
var words =
car
house
home
computer
go
went
;
I want to make a function that will replace the newline between each word with space.
So the results would something look like this:
car house home computer go went
You can use the .replace() function:
words = words.replace(/n/g, " ");
Note that you need the g flag on the regular expression to get replace to replace all the newlines with a space rather than just the first one.
Also, note that you have to assign the result of the .replace() to a variable because it returns a new string. It does not modify the existing string. Strings in Javascript are immutable (they aren't directly modified) so any modification operation on a string like .slice(), .concat(), .replace(), etc... returns a new string.
let words = anbncndne;
console.log(Before:);
console.log(words);
words = words.replace(/n/g, );
console.log(After:);
console.log(words);
