替换字符串中间的点

Question

Let's say we have an array (new line separated) like:

hello
example.com
test.
something.
 aspacefront
test
test.us

to be an array

hello
example(dot)com.
test.
something.
 aspacefront
test
test(dot)us

Can this be done with a regex?

What I've up to loop the array then replace to (dot) with this regex \\b[^a-zA-Z\\40]\\b. but it will be example(dot)om rather then example(dot)com.

Answer 1

The simplest solution:

result = subject.replace(/\b\.\b/g, "(com)");

This means "Replace a dot only if it is preceded and followed by an alphanumeric character".
