JQuery Adding and removing a slash

Question

jQuery code is

$(document).ready(function() {
  if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win") != -1) {
   // Computers runs windows
    $("a[href$='.pdf']").each(function() {
        this.href = this.href.replace("Volumes", "KP01DS0194TG");
    });
  }
  if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") != -1) {
    // computer is a Mac
    $("a[href$='.pdf']").each(function() {
        this.href = this.href.replace("KP01DS0194TG", "Volumes");
    });
  }
});

I need it to remove a slash on the windows side , how can I go about it?

My Link is as follows href="file:///KP01DS0194TG/Quotes/Scanning/brother/Jobsheets/job no 12538.pdf">12538</a> thats fine for mac's with volumes , however i Need it as 'file://KP01DS0194TG' for pc's , how can I remove that slash?

Answer 1

If you have a link such as:

<a href="file:///[somelink]">Click Here</a>

and you want to remove one slash, use:

$('a').each(function() {
    var theLink = $(this).attr('href');// get href
    theLink = theLink.replace(/\/\/\//g,'//');// replace 3 slashes with 2
    $(this).attr('href', theLink);
});
