The two numbers are the same, in case you are using some tags, the forum doesn’t display them. It’s not easy to guess what you possibly mean :slight_smile:

Always easier to create a fiddle

he typed

(800)123 4587 to (800)123 4587

You’re going all the wrong way it seems, surely you’re just doing string concatenation?

e.g.

var withSpans = "" + altrstr + "";

yes thnkx for your time, basically i get value from input field "800.123.4567
and replace it with 

value before and after on runtime i am replacing

number on page. hope you understand.

I just hope that any validation you’re doing for storage, is not done soley client-side, as it’s easily comprimised.

15

use backslash ‘’ to escape characters such as ‘.’, ‘$’, etc. (ones you want to be a part of the search string). for example: [-.]

Friend i m replacing string with new string if like this (800)xxxx xxxx means string brackets
i can’t or can’t replace runtime on page this is the isssuee.

17

the brackets need to be escaped too doing something like this: (800) otherwise it considers it a “group” in regexp.

OOOoooHH You Right now you understand what i going do doing. the problem is

i am replace 

replace(varofstring, ’ varofstring’);

in varofstring some time number is 800.132.1245 or (800)123.1234 or different different north American number format. but when i replacing bracket numbers my code not works :frowning:

Why you need to use replace() if you just want to add < span > tag around it? try this instead

var avidno = '(800)123 1234';
function validate () {
	var regex = /^\(?([0-9]{3})\)?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$/;
	
   if (regex.test(avidno)) {
		alert('bingo');
		var altrstr = ''+avidno+'';
		alert(altrstr);
        // Valid international phone number
    } else {
		alert('uupss');
        // Invalid international phone number
    }
}

validate();
