In j**ascript, if you want to convert HTML entity-encoded characters such as ( to their corresponding characters, you can write a function to handle this situation manually. HTML entities ( are actually a wrong entity encoding, because usually HTML entities use a decimal ASCII code followed by a character, or a hexadecimal ASCII code followed by a character. The HTML entity of the correct opening parenthesis ( should be ( or (.
Here's a j**ascript function that converts ( This form of HTML entity to the corresponding character:
j**ascript copy**.
In this example,converthtmlentitiesFunctions use regular expressions#(\d+);to match all to#Start, followed by one or more numbers, and start withHTML entity at the end. Then, it is usedstring.fromcharcodemethod converts these numbers into corresponding characters.
Note that this function only handles decimally encoded HTML entities. If your string contains hexadecimal-encoded entities such as), you'll need to modify the regex and substitution logic slightly to handle them.
Also, if your string contains other HTML entities, such as:(Representation.)(Representation.)This function can handle them as well, as long as they match#format. If your string contains an incorrect entity encoding, such as:(Actually, it should be.)), then you may need more complex parsing logic to handle these cases.
