About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

replaceBeforeLast

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Replace the substring before the last occurrence of a specified search string.

Usage

To use in Observable,

replaceBeforeLast = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/string-base-replace-before-last@umd/browser.js' )

The previous example will load the latest bundled code from the umd branch. Alternatively, you may load a specific version by loading the file from one of the tagged bundles. For example,

replaceBeforeLast = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/string-base-replace-before-last@v0.1.1-umd/browser.js' )

To vendor stdlib functionality and avoid installing dependency trees for Node.js, you can use the UMD server build:

var replaceBeforeLast = require( 'path/to/vendor/umd/string-base-replace-before-last/index.js' )

To include the bundle in a webpage,

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/string-base-replace-before-last@umd/browser.js"></script>

If no recognized module system is present, access bundle contents via the global scope:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
    window.replaceBeforeLast;
})();
</script>

replaceBeforeLast( str, search, replacement, fromIndex )

Replaces the substring before the last occurrence of a specified search string.

var str = 'beep boop';
var out = replaceBeforeLast( str, ' ', 'loop', str.length );
// returns 'loop boop'

out = replaceBeforeLast( str, 'o', 'bar', str.length );
// returns 'barop'

To begin searching from a specific index, provide a corresponding fromIndex argument.

var out = replaceBeforeLast( 'beep boop beep', ' ', 'loop', 5 );
// returns 'loop boop beep'

If fromIndex is less than zero, the starting index is resolved relative to the last string character, with the last string character corresponding to fromIndex = -1.

var out = replaceBeforeLast( 'beep boop beep', ' ', 'loop', -1 );
// returns 'loop beep'

Notes

  • If a search string is not present in a provided string, the function returns the provided string unchanged.
  • If a search string is an empty string, the function returns the provided string unchanged.
  • If fromIndex resolves to an index which is less than 0, the function returns the provided string unchanged.

Examples

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/string-base-replace-before-last@umd/browser.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {

var str = 'beep boop';
var out = replaceBeforeLast( str, 'p', 'see', str.length );
// returns 'seep'

str = 'Hello World!';
out = replaceBeforeLast( str, 'xyz', 'foo', str.length );
// returns 'Hello World!'

str = 'Hello World!';
out = replaceBeforeLast( str, '', 'foo', str.length );
// returns 'Hello World!'

str = '';
out = replaceBeforeLast( str, 'xyz', 'foo', str.length );
// returns ''

})();
</script>
</body>
</html>
