Most of them are for things ãthat are sometimes surprising aren't *IN* JavaScript's language. Though it's ãpretty easy to extend/graft any object/class after the fact.ããI have stuff for some .toFormat overload methods for String and Date. I've ãalso spent a little time trying to get base2 functioning in Synchronet ãproperly, but that's been a bit of an effort. base.js works without much ãtrouble though. Still need to implement a number formatter for ãString.toFormat. It does work with dates as-is ex:ããvar fmt = "This is a string with a date-time of " +ã "{dtm:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} " +ã "as well as another property of {prop2}.";ãvar fmt2 = "This uses numbered arguments {0} and {1}";ããvar now = new Date();ãvar ret = fmt.toFormat({ dtm:now, prop2: 6 });ãvar ret2 = fmt2.toFormat(now, 5);ãã-- ãMichael J.

Re: Re: truncsp() for beginnings of strings?ã By: Tracker1 to art on Tue Nov 17 2009 10:19 pmãã > return this.replace(/^[\s\r\n]+/g, '');ãã\s includes \r and \n. The g flag is useless since + is greedy by default andãthe match is anchored to the start of the string (unless you want multilines,ãwhich you don't).ããSo just replace(/^\s+/, '');ããAs for the whole string trim function...ãã > return this.replace(/^[\s\r\n]+|[\s\r\n]+$/g, '');ããreplace(/^\s*(.*?)\s*$/, '$1');ããIs a lot better (a single replace, no OR, etc).ãã--- ãSynchronet - Jump on the Web 0.2 bandwagon!ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ My Brand-New BBS (All the cool SysOps run STOCK!)ã
