Hello

I was wondering if you guys could help me with a pattern.

Im trying to remove every single letter word in a sentence [a-z] or [0-1]
and remove duplicate spaces in the result if any.

"a car is good" = "car is good"
"drink a beer" = "drink beer"

TIA

"a car is good" = "car is good"
"drink a beer" = "drink beer"

s = "a car is good and drink a beer"

s = s.replace(/\b.\b/g,' ') // strip the single character words
s = s.replace(/\s+/g,' ') // change all whitespaces to single space
s = s.replace(/(^\s)|(\s$)/g,'') // trim begin and end spaces

alert(s)

Yes, and [but for the alert] can be used serverside in ASP.


<%
t = "a car is good and drink a beer"
response.write myStrip(t)
%>

<script language=jscript runat=server>
function myStrip(s){
s = s.replace(/\b.\b/g,' '); // strip the single character words
s = s.replace(/\s+/g,' '); // change all whitespaces to single space
s = s.replace(/(^\s)|(\s$)/g,''); // trim begin and end spaces
return s;
}
</script>
