I have written a simple OpenAI based chatbot in JS, but i want to intercept the backticks indicating the language in the chatbot response… in both opening and close
I have tried multiple regexes, i came out with the following:
fetch(API_URL, requestOptions)
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => {
messageElement.textContent = data.choices[0].message.content.trim();
// Find and replace tml, ss, and avascript
messageElement.textContent = messageElement.textContent.replace(/```(html|css|javascript)(.*?)/gs, '$2');
messageElement.textContent = messageElement.textContent.replace("```", "");
})
.catch(() => {
messageElement.classList.add("error");
messageElement.textContent = "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.";
})
.finally(() => chatbox.scrollTo(0, chatbox.scrollHeight));
The problem is it works well but at the end of the code the last backticks closing line is not replaced. I.E. if i ask for a css navbar code, i get:
CSS (salvato in un file chiamato “style.css”):
nav { background-color: #333; }
nav ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;
overflow: hidden; }nav li { float: left; }
nav li a { display: block; color: white; text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px; text-decoration: none; }nav li a:hover { background-color: #111; } “`
Anybody has an idea on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Alex.
Might be a bit overblown, but the function replaceAll
below allows to pass in a mapping of characters and their replacement values and produces a new function that accepts an incoming string wherein characters are replaced.
const DATA = 'A string with ```backticks { some: foo; }\ntest::after { content: "bar"; }```';
const replaceAll = (replacementMapping) => {
const replaceChars = Object.entries(replacementMapping);
return (inputString) => {
return replaceChars.reduce(
(s, [oChar, nChar]) => s.replace(new RegExp(oChar, 'g'), nChar),
inputString
);
};
};
const escaper = replaceAll({
'`': '\\`',
'"': '\\"'
});
console.log(escaper(DATA));
Does ChatGPT return your code in properly enclosed backticks? From the example, it looks like only the ending backticks are added and not the opening ones, but it could be a StackOverflow formatting issue.
Why do you use
"```"
instead of/```/
or/```/g
? The first is not a regex!
