从多维数组中删除特定值

Question

I have a multidimensional array with an unknown amount of nesting. I just need to remove <span class='highlight'> and </span> from it.

How do I do that?

My idea was, to create a JSON string and replace the specific value with nothing, but somehow it doesn't work. Note: the specific value can exists more than once.

Here is my code for it:

function removeHighlightFromData(aData){

var jsonData = JSON.stringify(aData)
jsonData = jsonData.replace("<span class='highlight'>", "");
jsonData = jsonData.replace('<span class="highlight">', "");
jsonData = jsonData.replace("</span>", "");
return jQuery.parseJSON(jsonData);

}

Any idea what is wrong, or any other approaches?

Answer 1

Do you know if your json has multiple occurrences of string you want to replace ? It might be that the first occurrence only is getting replaced because you are not using global switch. Try :

jsonData = jsonData.replace(\<span class=\'highlight\'>/g, "");

&

jsonData = jsonData.replace(\/g, "");

to replace all occurrences.
