2.9: Regular Expressions: replace() - Programming with Text

In this video, I cover the JavaScript function replace(). The function allows you to search for a string (by matching a regular expression) and replace that string. The replacement can be a literal string itself or you can pass in a callback where you can use logic and programming to generate a replacement string based on anything you can imagine.

This is the ninth video in a series on Regular Expressions, which is part of the "Programming from A to Z" course at ITP (http://itp.nyu.edu).
