conditional return rule

[oleooo]

I and trying to create a Rule that if text is present after the return it places a bullet point and if it is just a return then it is left blank but returned.

 

if (Field("Bioandareaofinterest").indexOf("/<p>g/ textLines") > -1);

 

return Field("Bioandareaofinterest").replace(/<p>/g, "<br>&bull< >");

 

if (Field("Bioandareaofinterest").indexOf("/<p>g/") > -1);

 

return Field("Bioandareaofinterest").replace(/<p>/g);

return Field("Bioandareaofinterest")replace(/<p>/g,"<br>• ").replace(/<br>• (?=\w*$)/,"");

First replace exchanges all paragraph tags with a line break and a bullet/non-breaking space.

Second replace removes the last break/bullet/space (previously exchanged) if it is not followed by anything.

I think this will work:

var text = Field("Bioandareaofinterest");
return text.replace(/(<p>|<br>)(?!<p>|<br>)/g, "$1\n• ").replace(/\n• $/, "");

Or, more generally:

var text = Field("Bioandareaofinterest");
var lineEndings = "<p>|<br>";
var linePrefix = "\n• ";
return text.replace(new RegExp("(" + lineEndings + ")(?!" + lineEndings + ")", "g"), "$1" + linePrefix).replace(new RegExp(linePrefix + "$"), "");
