Paste a bunch of keywords into the box, then click a delimeter button.

Ever have a long list of tags or keywords for your story, and each social bookmarking site you submit to needs a different delimiters for your tags or keywords? Here you go.

Example list: "keyword, delimiter, tools, javascript, tool, free, socialbookmarking, tags"

Change delimiter to:

function clickCommas (f) {
	f.value = changeDelimiter(f.value,", ");
}

function clickSpaces (f) {
	f.value = changeDelimiter(f.value," ");
}

function clickSemicolons (f) {
	f.value = changeDelimiter(f.value,"; ");
}

function trimmer (InString) {
	var ichar, icount;
	var strValue = InString;
	ichar = strValue.length - 1;
	icount = -1;
	while (ichar > icount && strValue.charAt(ichar)==' ')
	  --ichar;
	if (ichar!=(strValue.length-1))
	  strValue = strValue.slice(0,ichar+1);
	ichar = 0;
	icount = strValue.length - 1;
	while (ichar < icount && strValue.charAt(ichar)==' ')
	  ++ichar;
	if (ichar!=0)
	  strValue = strValue.slice(ichar,strValue.length);
	return strValue;
}

function changeDelimiter (txt,delim) {
	var split_on = " ";
	var arr = new Array();
	var i = 0;
	var out = "";
	
	if (txt.indexOf(",") != -1) {
		split_on = ",";
	} else if (txt.indexOf(";") != -1) {
		split_on = ";";
	}
	arr = txt.split(split_on);

	for (i=0; i < arr.length; i++) {
		if (out != "") {
			out += delim;
		}
		out += trimmer(arr[i]);
	}
	return out;
}
