如何仅更改div内容中尚未链接的电话号码？

Question

I need to find all the phone numbers in the textContent of a div and all its children and if they're not already made into links (eg by iOS Safari, or by the person who created the page's content), then make them into links. I'm not sure how to find the phone number and find if it's already a link.

The code I was using only allows for finding phone numbers in the innerHTML and wrapping in a link tag:

div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML.replace( 
    /(\(\d{3}\)(-|\.)?\d{3}(-|\.)?\d{4}|\d{3}(-|\.)?\d{3}(-|\.)?\d{4}|[0-9]{10,10})/g,
    "<a href=\"tel:$1\">$1</a>"
);

but how do I figure out if it's wrapped in a link tag and skip it if it is?

Answer 1

How about this.

((\(\d{3}\)(-|\.)?\d{3}(-|\.)?\d{4}|\d{3}(-|\.)?\d{3}(-|\.)?\d{4}|[0-9]{10,10}))(?!["<])

That does a lookahead at the end to make sure that the next characters are not a quotation mark (like the href phone number), or a less than (like the end of your anchor tag).

Answer 2

I solved it by adding a check at the end for the closing a tag or a quote (so it doesn't change the hrefs):

(?![\s]*(\<\/a>|"|'))

The whole regex:

/(\(\d{3}\)(-|\.)?\d{3}(-|\.)?\d{4}|\d{3}(-|\.)?\d{3}(-|\.)?\d{4}|[0-9]{10,10})(?![\s]*(\<\/a>|"|'))/g

It also allows for white space between the phone number and closing tag.
