Replacing JSON Text

[paulmo]

Please advise why this only replaces the first instance of "Linux" in the JSON object "result":

getJSON('https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/text/en/linus_torvalds').then(function(data) {    var change = JSON.stringify(data.result).replace("Linux", "Windex");    for (var i = 0, len = change.length; i < len; i++) {        result.innerText = change;     }},

The for loop isn't doing anything here...same result if I take it out. Thanks.

The string replace method only changes the first match found. If you want to change all of them you need a global regular expression.

 

.replace(/Linux/g, "Windex");

 

The for loop you made is just doing an assignment, it's not actually manipulating the string.

Thanks Ingolme. Happy New Year.
