Here is a simple javascript function which is equivalent to PHP’s preg_match function.

    function preg_replace (array_pattern, array_pattern_replace, my_string) {
var new_string = String (my_string);
for (i=0; i<array_pattern.length; i++) {
var reg_exp= RegExp(array_pattern[i], “gi”);
var val_to_replace = array_pattern_replace[i];
new_string = new_string.replace (reg_exp, val_to_replace);
}
return new_string;
}

You can also use the javascript string.replace method to do the same functionality.
