| * One of the questions that recently came up is how to remove vowels from Hebrew characters in Unicode | |
| * (or any other similar language). A quick look at Hebrew Unicode chart shows that the vowels are all | |
| * located between 0x0591 (1425) and 0x05C7 (1479). With this and Javascript's charCodeAt function, it | |
| * is trivial to strip them out with Javascript as follows | |
| * | |
| * Live demo is available here: | |
| * https://jsfiddle.net/js0ge7gn/ | |

| function stripVowels(rawString) | |
| { | |
| var newString = ''; | |
| for(j=0; j<rawString.length; j++) { | |
| if(rawString.charCodeAt(j)<1425 | |
| || rawString.charCodeAt(j)>1479) | |
| { newString = newString + rawString.charAt(j); } | |
| } | |
| return(newString); | |
| } | |
| /* @shimondoodkin suggested even a much shorter way to do this */ | |
| function stripVowels2(rawString) { | |
| return rawString.replace(/[\u0591-\u05C7]/g,"") | |
| } | |

I don't know why the code font didn't kick in.
