To achieve expected result, use below of splitting string by keyword test
- Split string by word- 'test'
- Check for characters '' and ''
- Update span with word test accordingly
working code example
var str = '<div> test <a> test </a> </div>'
console.log(str.split('test').map(v => {
if(v.indexOf('<a>') === -1 && v.indexOf('</a>') === -1){
v = v + '<span>test</span>'
}else{
if(v.indexOf('<a>') !== -1){
v = v + 'test'
}
}
return v
}).join(''))codepen - https://codepen.io/nagasai/pen/rEvvGV?editors=1010
Really interesting solution. Sorry for the super late reply though. I could not get around to that part of the application, so only now will I be able to try applying this
