Regular expression from JavaScript

[Thomas Ardal]

Hi

I need to convert the following string:

!Hello World

to:

*Hello World*

with JavaScript and regular expression. Anyone up for a little help?

Regards,
Thomas

Actually it would be nice to be able to convert:

!any string

to:

<h1>any string</h1>

as well. So "any string" can be ... ehm any string and the ! should be
converted to <h1> at the beginning of the line and </h1> at the end.

Regards,
Thomas

t = t.replace(/^!(.*)/,'<h1>$1</h1>')

Next time first try it yourself.

str=str.replace(/\!([^\n\r])+/g,'<h1>$1</h1>')

Well
'!any string here'.replace(/^([^$]+)$/g, '<h1> $1 <\/h1>');

Two problems:

1 you did not quote, which on usenet is a sin, as we won't know what you
are reacting upon.

2 why the extra spaces and not just '<h1>$1<\/h1>'

3 why the /g here?
