insert-queue
Setup a series of inserts on a string, but without altering it (yet) then apply all the inserts without them interfeering with each other.
this is very useful if you want to check multiple regexps against a string and wrap those words...
I intend to use this to implement Syntax Highlighting in Hipster
Example
insert-queue
can beused to insert multiple strings into another string,
var iq =var q =qqconsole// '<p>a <i>string</i> to do insertions on</i>'
Methods
wrap (regexpy, around)
Wrap occurances of regexpy with around.
If around is a string, it will be inserted before and after matches of regexpy
.
If regexpy
is global (/.../g
) all matches will be replaced. Otherwise only the first
occurance will be replaced.
Note: regexpy
doesn't have to be a RegExp
. It just needs a exec
method,
and to set global = true
if it can produce multiple matches
(and must use a lastIndex
property like a regexp)
In this way you can implement your own ad-hock look behind, etc.
insertBefore(index, string)
Queue string
to be inserted at index, ahead of anything currently queued at index
.
insertAfter(index, string)
Queue string
to be inserted at index, behind anything currently queued at index
.
