[removed] replace last occurrence of text in a string

Question

See my code snippet below:

var list = [\'one\', \'two\', \'three\', \'four\'];
var str = \'one two, one three, one four, one\';
for ( var i = 0; i < list.         


        

Answer 1

Old fashioned and big code but efficient as possible:

function replaceLast(origin,text){
    textLenght = text.length;
    originLen = origin.length
    if(textLenght == 0)
        return origin;

    start = originLen-textLenght;
    if(start < 0){
        return origin;
    }
    if(start == 0){
        return "";
    }
    for(i = start; i >= 0; i--){
        k = 0;
        while(origin[i+k] == text[k]){
            k++
            if(k == textLenght)
                break;
        }
        if(k == textLenght)
            break;
    }
    //not founded
    if(k != textLenght)
        return origin;

    //founded and i starts on correct and i+k is the first char after
    end = origin.substring(i+k,originLen);
    if(i == 0)
        return end;
    else{
        start = origin.substring(0,i) 
        return (start + end);
    }
}
