I'm wondering if there is a lightweight way I could use JavaScript or jQuery to sniff out a specific text character across a document; say € and find all instances of this character. And then! Write an ability to replace all instances of this with say a $.
I found this snippet for starters:
var str = 'test: ''; str = str.replace(/'/g, "'"); Essentially; I am wanting a solution for a one page document. Grab all instances of X and make it XY. Only text characters.

Answer: Use the JavaScript replace() method You can use the JavaScript replace() method to replace the occurrence of any character in a string. However, the replace() will only replace the first occurrence of the specified character. To replace all the occurrence you can use the global ( g ) modifier.
To replace text in a JavaScript string the replace() function is used. The replace() function takes two arguments, the substring to be replaced and the new string that will take its place. Regex(p) can also be used to replace text in a string.
The JavaScript replace() method is used to replace any occurrence of a character in a string or the entire string. It searches for a string corresponding to either a particular value or regular expression and returns a new string with the modified values.
How about this, replacing @ with $:
$("body").children().each(function () { $(this).html( $(this).html().replace(/@/g,"$") ); }); http://jsfiddle.net/maximua/jp96C/1/
