I have a component in react js project which displays some text. the text variable is of type string and has some tab escape charcters within. I would like to replace this tab character and use a div. how do i replace this with a such that when it renders, it outputs the div within the when it renders HTML. so on the page source in browser i see something like this => <span> once upon a time, <div> there was a man <div> who had a house. </span>
<span> once upon a time, <div> there was a man <div> who had a house. </span>
text = "once upon a time, \t there was a man \t who had a house.";
class somcomponent extends React.Component {
render() {
return <span> {text}</span>;
}
}
You can split your text
by \t
and render a div
each split, like this:
class somcomponent extends React.Component {
render() {
return <span>
{text.split('\t').map(s=><div>{s}</div>)}
</span>
}
}
In a snippet:
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root"); ReactDOM.render( <Demo />, rootElement ); function Demo() { let text = "once upon a time, \t there was a man \t who had a house."; return ( <span> {text.split('\t').map(s=><div>{s}</div>)} </span> ); }

text.split('\t')
will split your text into a list of strings that are between '\t'.
Now, use map
to render <div>{s}</div>
for each element in that list, while s
is current string you're iterating.
Hi Ozil,
Go ahead and give this snippet a try to see if this is what you are trying to achieve, pal! let us know the outcome on your end!
const domEl = document.getElementById("container"); ReactDOM.render(<RemoveTabs />,domEl); function RemoveTabs() { let text ="Once upon a time, \t there was a man \t who had a house."; return(<div>{"<div>"+text.replace(/\t/g,'</div><div>')+"<div>"}</div>); }
