// did you know regular expressions? string = 'Heo world'; string = string.replace(/(?<=e)(?=o)/,'ll'); console.log(string);

What character to detect? And where you write the letter? Might help clear things up if you can provide an example.

Ipang visph I'm not going to use it specifically with text, it is for mathematical expressions and that every time in the string there is a word before it, "Math." then use "eval ()" (Translate by google )

You mean you read a string, for example "Math. 9 x 2 ÷ 2" Then you want the string to become "9 * 2 / 2" In order to be processed by eval()

For example Text: cosh(5) -> Math.cosh(5) Eval()

You can make a list of function names e.g. [ "cos", "sin", "pow" ]. Then do a find & replace operation on the string before passing the string to eval(). let names = [ "sin", "cos", "tan" ]; for( let name of names ) { // if string contains <name> // replace it with "Math." + <name> }
