jQuery find and replace with arrays

Question

I need to search an input\'s value for all street abbreviations and replace with appropriate suffix. This is what I have so far:

jQuery(\'#colCenterAddress\'         


        

Answer 1

One way to do this, is to loop through the val string, and if you see a word in the f array, replace it with its counterpart in the r array.

jQuery('#colCenterAddress').val(function(i,val) {
    var f = ['Rd','St','Ave'];
    var r = ['Road','Street','Avenue'];
    var valArray = val.split(' ');
    $.each(valArray, function(i,v){
       var inF = $.inArray(v, f);
       if(inF !== -1){
         valArray[i] = v.replace(f[inF], r[inF]);
       }
    });
    return valArray.join(' ');
});
