JavaScript String split based on value

Question

I have a single variable object value in this format:

"Landing Hits: 0Rewards Hits: 0Facebook Posts: 0Twitter Tweets: 0Twitter Autofollows: 0Instagram Photos: 0Instagram Likes: 0Instagram Votes: 0Pinterest Pins: 0Form Submissions: 0Submissions: 0Engagement: 0Views: 0Prints: 0"

I need to convert it into:

"Landing Hits: 0, Rewards Hits: 0, Facebook Posts: 0, Twitter Tweets: 0, Twitter Autofollows: 0, Instagram Photos: 0, Instagram Likes: 0, Instagram Votes: 0, Pinterest Pins: 0, Form Submissions: 0, Submissions: 0, Engagement: 0, Views: 0, Prints: 0"

Any ideas how to do this?

seems like you should fix the source

You can use RegEx to search for matches.

var str = "Landing Hits: 0Rewards Hits: 0Facebook Posts: 0Twitter Tweets: 0Twitter Autofollows: 0Instagram Photos: 0Instagram Likes: 0Instagram Votes: 0Pinterest Pins: 0Form Submissions: 0Submissions: 0Engagement: 0Views: 0Prints: 0";

var arr = str.match(/[^:]+\s*:\s*\d+/g); //Find values like `String:Number`

var out = arr.join(", "); //Convert array matches to String

document.write("<pre>" + out + "</pre>"); //Test

Just replace: If you'll only need is to replace the string, you could also do this:

var str = "Landing Hits: 0Rewards Hits: 0Facebook Posts: 0Twitter Tweets: 0Twitter Autofollows: 0Instagram Photos: 0Instagram Likes: 0Instagram Votes: 0Pinterest Pins: 0Form Submissions: 0Submissions: 0Engagement: 0Views: 0Prints: 0";

var formatted = str.replace(/(\d)(\w)/g, "$1, $2");

document.write(formatted)

Extending into a Object: This allows you to work the values obtained for another purpose

var str= "Landing Hits: 0Rewards Hits: 0Facebook Posts: 0Twitter Tweets: 0Twitter Autofollows: 0Instagram Photos: 0Instagram Likes: 0Instagram Votes: 0Pinterest Pins: 0Form Submissions: 0Submissions: 0Engagement: 0Views: 0Prints: 0"
, regex = /([^:]+)\s*:\s*(\d+)/g, collection = {}, temp;

while(temp = regex.exec(str)){
  collection[temp[1]] = +temp[2]
}

console.log(collection)

add the following line in your code

var str = "Landing Hits: 0Rewards Hits: 0Facebook Posts: 0Twitter Tweets: 0Twitter Autofollows: 0Instagram Photos: 0Instagram Likes: 0Instagram Votes: 0Pinterest Pins: 0Form Submissions: 0Submissions: 0Engagement: 0Views: 0Prints: 0";

alert(str.replace(/0|_/g,'0,'));

The value will not always be zero

You don't need Regex:

var str = "Landing Hits: 0Rewards Hits: 0Facebook Posts: 0Twitter Tweets: 0Twitter Autofollows: 0Instagram Photos: 0Instagram Likes: 0Instagram Votes: 0Pinterest Pins: 0Form Submissions: 0Submissions: 0Engagement: 0Views: 0Prints: 0";
var newStr = str.split(0).join('0, ').slice(0, -2);

You could try this:

var c = "Landing Hits: 0345Rewards Hits: 0Facebook Posts: 0Twitter Tweets: 034534532Twitter Autofollows: 0Instagram Photos: 0Instagram Likes: 0Instagram Votes: 0Pinterest Pins: 0Form Submissions: 0Submissions: 0Engagement: 0Views: 0Prints: 0";
var array = [];
var counter = 0;
var num;
var dup = '';
for (var i = 0; i < c.length; i++) {
  dup += c[i];
  if (c[i] === ':') {
    dup += ' ';
  }
  if (!isNaN(c[i]) && isNaN(c[i + 1]) && c[i] !== ' ') {
    dup += ', ';
  }
}
alert(dup);
