jquery , selector, contains one of the text

Question

Hi ,

I need a help for one thing :

this is my jQuery idea:

        var text = "Some Text1, Some Text2, Some Text3";


        $("h3:contains('"+even one of  this string+"')").each(function() {
                $(this).append("<span>Some Text</span>");
        });

This is My HTML

            <h3 class="test1">Some Text2</h3>

            <h3 class="test1">Some Text1</h3>

            <h3 class="test3">Another Text</h3>

What I want in OUTPUT:

             <h3 class="test1">
                 Some Text2
                <span>Some Text</span>
            </h3>

            <h3 class="test1">
                Some Text1
                <span>Some Text</span>
            </h3>

            <h3 class="test3">Another Text</h3>

Thanks!

Answer 1

You want:

$("h3:contains('Some Text1'), h3:contains('Some Text2'), h3:contains('Some Text3')").each(function() {
            $(this).append("<span>Some Text</span>");
    });

EDIT

In response to OP comment, note, you can do the following:

var text = "Some Text1, Some Text2, Some Text3";

text.replace(/\s?([^,]+?)(,)|\s([^,]+?)$/g, "h3:contains('$1$3')$2");

To generate your element list.

Then you do:

var text = "Some Text1, Some Text2, Some Text3";

text.replace(/\s?([^,]+?)(,)|\s([^,]+?)$/g, "h3:contains('$1$3')$2");

$(text).each(function() {
            $(this).append("<span>Some Text</span>");
    });

This will replace all of the comma separated terms by the term itself surrounded by h3:contains(' and '). These will be separated by commas in the same manner as the original string.

Answer 2

The simple solution if you know your strings ahead of time would be to use multiple selectors like so:

$("h3:contains('Some Text1'), h3:contains('Some Text2'), h3:contains('Some Text3')").each(function() {
    $(this).append("<span>Some Text</span>");
});

duplicated: you may want to see this question.

also see the comments on this page.

Answer 4

var text = "Some Text1, Some Text2, Some Text3";

var aText = text.split(","); //splits into array on comma delimiter


for (var i = 0; i < aText.length; i++) {
    $("h3:contains('" + aText[i] + "')").each(function() {
        $(this).append("<span>Some Text</span>");
    });

}

This ought to work for you (but unclear if you can break in/out of the selector string like that. Let me know if it's good.

Answer 5

quick jQuery

var text = "Some Text1, Some Text2, Some Text3";

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(text.split(", ")).each(function(i,v){
    $('h3:contains("'+ v +'")').append('<span>Some text</span>');
  })
})

Answer 6

Just iterate through the headings and do a regexp match on $(this).text(). You can even make this into a custom selector if you really want:

$.extend($.expr[':'], {
  matches: function(node, index, args, stack) {
    var re = new RegExp(args[3]);
    return !!$(node).text().match(re);
  }
});

$(function() {
  $('h3:matches("Some Text[123]")').each(function() {
    $(this).append("<span>Some Text</span>");
  });
});
