Need Help - Javascript to Remove URL tags - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

I need a javascript that can remove url tags if they are present. Something like this:

<script>
var url = "the url";
if url contains [ url ] and [ /url ]
{
strip url tags from the url
}
else
{
output the url
}
</script>

Just use the .replace function to remove the url tags.

Code:

<script>
var testurl='[u#rl]hello.com[/u#rl]';
testurl = testurl.replace(/\[u#rl\]/g,'');
testurl = testurl.replace(/\[\/u#rl\]/g,'');
document.write(testurl);
</script>

Note, remove the #s from the code. I have to insert them because I have less than 5 posts, so can't post a url tag (even in code!).

Cheers.
