Case Sensitive Accent Folding in Javascript

With this example:

accentsTidy = function(s) {
   var r = s.toLowerCase(); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("\\s", 'g'),""); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("[àáâãäå]", 'g'),"a"); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("æ", 'g'),"ae"); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("ç", 'g'),"c"); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("[èéêë]", 'g'),"e"); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("[ìíîï]", 'g'),"i"); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("ñ", 'g'),"n");                             
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("[òóôõö]", 'g'),"o"); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("œ", 'g'),"oe"); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("[ùúûü]", 'g'),"u"); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("[ýÿ]", 'g'),"y"); 
   r = r.replace(new RegExp("\\W", 'g'),""); 
   return r; 
}; 

I would like to make this kind of transformation: Á É to A E.

You could do this:

accentsTidy = function(s) {
    var map = [
        ["\\s", ""],
        ["[àáâãäå]", "a"],
        ["æ", "ae"],
        ["ç", "c"],
        ["[èéêë]", "e"],
        ["[ìíîï]", "i"],
        ["ñ", "n"],
        ["[òóôõö]", "o"],
        ["œ", "oe"],
        ["[ùúûü]", "u"],
        ["[ýÿ]", "y"],
        ["\\W", ""]
    ];
    for (var i=0; i<map.length; ++i) {
        s = s.replace(new RegExp(map[i][0], "gi"), function(match) {
            if (match.toUpperCase() === match) {
                return map[i][1].toUpperCase();
            } else {
                return map[i][1];
            }
        });
    }
    return s;
}

The significant changes:

  • regular expression patterns are case insensitive (see i modifier)
  • return upper-case variant of character if matched character is upper-case (match.toUpperCase() === match)

This should work:

function purifyString(value) {
    var r = [];
    for (var i = 0, length = value.length; i < length; i++) {
        r.push(replaceCharacter(value.charAt(i)));
    }
    return r.join("");
}

function replaceCharacter(character) {
    switch (character) {
        case '\r': return "\r";
        case '\n': return "\n";
        case '\t': return "\t";
