JavaScript var const and let

-

Signification and let are new JavaScript methods of declaring a variables on modern browser's you don't need to enable strict mode to make use of const, and let

What's the difference between var , let and const
Immutability when you declare a variable using const its value is immutable ie you can't simply reassign the variable with another value neither can you declare const variables as
const variable, another;
because it's pointless afterall

scope of this
let variable decelerations are block scoped therefore if used in an if statement or in a function its value is scoped within that block

Removing bash.sh #hash comments from a string using regEx in JavaScript

-
Last night i was looking for a method to remove comments from a robots.txt file containing contents of form below `# robots.txt user-agent Disallow:` Or a more practical format obtained by splitting the robots.txt file line by line. ["# robots.txt", "user-agent", "Disallow:"] every element of the array is a string representing a single line of text from a robots.txt plain text file. Regular expression I used regular expression to strip out the unwanted text until the end of the line however it's not limited to robots.txt it works perfectly with bash.sh files as well. Example var string = "Disallow / #deny bots" string.replace(/#.*$/, "") // returns  Disallow / It simply strip's off all characters after the hash character until the end of the line.

"uninvited cloners" So you put your site out there few days later 50 clones uninvited unwelcom...
