How to find and replace text in CKEditor using Javascript?

Question

How could I find and replace text in CKEditor using Javascript? Thanks for your suggestion!

Answer 1

try this

editor = CKEDITOR.instances.fck; //fck is just my instance name you will need to replace that with yours

var edata = editor.getData();

var replaced_text = edata.replace("idontwant", "iwant this instead"); // you could also use a regex in the replace 

editor.setData(replaced_text);

you may want to put that in a blur event or soemthing
