How to find prefix and suffix of the word in javascript

How to find prefix and suffix of the word in javascript

First of all, you have to know that how to get the currently selected text on the page by using the JavaScript. So, Javascript provided a method for retrieving the current selection of the page by using window.getSelection(). After fetching the current selection, suppose that we want to show that some prefix and suffix world (characters) of the selected text. In such a case, I have explored the above algorithm for getting the wrapped text of the selected text.

  

function surroundRange() {
    var obj = getSelectionCharOffsetsWithin(document.body);
    var pre = replaceHtml(obj.pre);
    var text = replaceHtml(obj.text);
    var post = replaceHtml(obj.post);
    var start = obj.start;
    var end = obj.end;

    var position = start + '~~' + end + '~~'+ pre + '~~'+ text + '~~' +post;
    alert(position);
}


function replaceHtml(text) {
    text = text.replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, '');
    text = text.replace(/[\n\r\t]/g, '');
    return text;
}

function getSelectionCharOffsetsWithin(element) {
     var start, end, pre = " ", text = " ", post = " ", diff;
     var sel, range, priorRange, rearRange;
     var max_limit = 200;
     if (typeof window.getSelection != "undefined") {
         range = window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0);
         priorRange = range.cloneRange();
         priorRange.selectNodeContents(element);
         priorRange.setEnd(range.startContainer, range.startOffset);
         rearRange = range.cloneRange();
         rearRange.selectNodeContents(element);
         rearRange.setStart(range.endContainer, range.endOffset);
         start = priorRange.toString().length;
         end = start + range.toString().length;
         text = range.toString();

         if(text.length < max_limit){
            diff = (max_limit - text.length)/2;
            pre = priorRange.toString();
            post = rearRange.toString();

            if(pre.length >= diff){
                pre = pre.substring(pre.length-diff, pre.length);
                pre = pre.substr(pre.indexOf(' '), pre.length);
            }
            if(post.length >= diff){
                post = post.substr(0, diff);
                post = post.substr(0, post.lastIndexOf(' '));
            }
         }else{
             text = text.substring(0, max_limit);
             text = text.substr(0, text.lastIndexOf(' '));
         }
     } if (typeof document.selection != "undefined" &&
      (sel = document.selection).type != "Control") {
         range = sel.createRange();
         priorRange = document.body.createTextRange();
         priorRange.moveToElementText(element);
         priorRange.setEndPoint("EndToStart", range);
         start = priorRange.text.length;
         end = start + range.text.length;
     }
     return {
         start: start,
         end: end,
         pre: pre,
         text: text,
         post: post,
         range: range
     };
}

 

With the help of above code you'll get the start and end position of the selected text.  By using this JavaScript code you'll get these important value:

return {
         start: start,
         end: end,
         pre: pre,
         text: text,
         post: post,
         range: range
     };
