regex - JavaScript match ( followed by a digit -
in string n+n(n+n), n stands number or digit, i'd match ( , replace *(, if followed number or digit.
examples:
- i'd change
2+22(2+2)2+22*(2+2), - i'd change
-1(3)-1*(3), 4+(5/6)should stay is.
this have:
var str = '2+2(2+2)'.replace(/^[0-9]\(/g, '*('); but doesn't work. in advance.
remove ^, , group digits:
'2+2(2+2)'.replace(/([0-9])\(/g, '$1*(') '2+2(2+2)'.replace(/(\d)\(/g, '$1*(') //another option: [0-9] = \d suggestion: 2. valid number (= 2). following regexp removes dot between number , parenthesis.
'2+2(2+2)'.replace(/(\d\).?\(/g, '$1*(') //2.(2+2) = 2*(2+2) parentheses create group, can referenced using $n, n index of group: $1.
you started regexp ^..., means: match part of string starts .... behaviour not intended.
