You could also do sth like this:
String.prototype.templatize = function(values)
{
return this.replace(/{\$([^}]+)}/g, function (full_match, group_match)
{
return values[group_match];
});
}
and use it like this:
var tpl = "Flight {$airport_from} -> {$airport_to}.<br/>Departure
{$outbound_departure}, Arrival {$outbound_arrival}";
var values = {
'airport_from': 'SFO',
'airport_to': 'LON',
'outbound_departure': '17:30',
'outbound_arrival': '10:00'
};
var html = tpl.templatize(values)
You would just need to adapt the regex to your # instead of mine and
tuck your vars in an object.
