JavaScript String replace - How do you use matched

问题:

How do you use the matched variables in the pattern in the replacement string?

var regexp = new RegExp('needle', 'ig');
str.replace(regexp, '<span class="marked">//1</span>')

回答1:

try

var regexp = new RegExp(something, 'ig');
str.replace(regexp, '<span class="marked">$&</span>')

回答2:

The correct way to use backreferences in JavaScript is via $1...$9.

To make your example work:

var regexp = new RegExp(something, 'ig');
var result = str.replace(regexp, '<span class="marked">$1</span>');
