Is it possible to use a wildcard in a uri.replace call in a script? It doesn't seem to be working for me in this case so I'm guessing not, but maybe I'm just using it incorrectly.
I'm trying to make a change on the Link URL in the RSS (
http://www.onmilwaukee.com/rss/rss.xml) from this:
http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/gigs1105.html
to the print version this:
http://onmilwaukee.com/articles/print/gigs1105.html
Problem is the first sub dir is always changing, so in this example it is "/music/articles/" needs to change to "/articles/print/" it could also be "/market/articles/" or "/bars/articles/" Bascically it's the first thing after the ./com/*/articles/ that I need to change.
So right now I'm trying this:
document.onanchorlink = function(link) {
// Set referrer to original uri
link.referrer = link.uri;
// Rewrite uri to point to printable version
link.uri = link.uri.replace("onmilwaukee.com/*/articles/", "onmilwaukee.com/articles/print/");
};
With no luck. If I need to set that first virtual directory (/music/" as a variable, to trap it, I'm not sure how to do that. Sorry for the obviously script-newbee question, but I'm just now starting to learn this a (very) little.
Any suggestions?
