How to evaluate a string?

1 New Member
Hi,

Is it possible to evaluate a string to get a logical output?
For Eg.

var string1 = "true && false || true"

Is there any method that i can use to evaluate this string and get an logical output? The scenario is that I'm generating the string dynamically with values picked from a database, and combine all those values into teh string.

Thanks in Advance,

Welcome to TSDN

Perhaps you could use the eval function.

I'm trying to clean up strings in a web form before I plug the fields into a database. Lots of folks like to leave caps lock key on and yell their form entries. I can figure out how to change strings to sentence case, but I don't want to do it to every string since some correctly entered words e.g. "to" would be converted unnecessarily (to "To"). I'm willing to live with the over correction on a few strings, but don't want to apply it...

In Firefox 1.5 (this question is Mozilla specific as I am using greasemonkey) I would like to be able to use document.evaluate to return the first TD entry that shows ^\s*MySearchText\s*$. As I understand it, xpath doesn't yet have regular expressions so I thought to do: function findNode (srch) { var node; var expr="//td"; var RE = new RegExp("\\s*" + srch + "\\s*$");

Javascripters: I have an outer page and an inner iframe. The outer page calculates some javascript, and wants the inner frame to run it. The inner frame should hit a page on the same (private) web server, so this is not a cross-site scripting attack. But I would prefer not to taint the target page with any extra logic to do this. (I will if I must.) The calling page has these elements:

This is kind of a weird one and hard to find answers online because of the format of the question. Essentially I want to be able to have a string that looks like this "True AND True AND True" and evaluate that to a boolean which in this case would be True. Another example would be "(True or False) AND True" would be True. The reason for this is that I have a form where the user has to build some logic in a graphical interface. I can evaluate...
