I have a javascript string with some contact information I would like to filter. In example, if an email or phone is written, these should be replaced with a mask.
I´m trying to do something like:
function(message) {
var filteredMessage = message.replace("/^([\da-z_\.-]+)@([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})$/", "<Email>");
return filteredMessage;
}
but this is not working.
You may try this:
function filterMessage(message) {
var m = message.replace(/[\da-z_\.-]+@[\da-z\.-]+\.[a-z\.]{2,6}/, "<Email>");
return m;
}
alert(filterMessage("Your Email: [email protected] lorem Ipsum dolor"));

Issues with your script:
", must be withoutI prefer to use a very loose regex to search for email addresses, because there are so many variations in how email addresses are formatted. You might try, for example:
/\S+@\S+\.\S+/
This will match [email protected] where one or more non-whitespace characters are allowed in place of a, b, and c.
You could use this in place of the regex in strah's answer, just posted.
Try this:
function filterMessage(message) {
//var reg = /^([\da-z_\.-]+)@([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})$/;
var reg = /\b(\S+@\S+\.\S+)\b/g;
var filteredMessage = message.replace(reg, "<Email>");
return filteredMessage;
}
filterMessage("email.example.com will be replaced, so will be [email protected]");
or you could use this regExp: /\b(\S+@\S+\.\S+)\b/g (from Kieran Pot's answer) and then you could use your function to do a little better filtering.
