jQuery to hide substring in a table cell -

i want hide substring in table cell. let's assume table looks this:

<div id="table">   <table>     <tr>       <td> blah </td>       <td> blah [100, 100]</td>       <td> blah [130, 70]</td>     </tr>   </table> </div> 

how can use jquery (and css) hide [100,100] part of cell 2 , [130, 70] part of cell 3?

i found solution in answer similar problem:

<div class="text">good stuff hide me</div> <div class="text">great stuff hide me</div> <div class="text">best stuff hide me</div>  $('div.text').html(function (i, t) {     return t.replace('hide me', '<span class="hidden">hide me</span>'); }) 

but think need regex solution since contents of [ ] part can different? or there better iea?

you correct needing regex. should work:

<div class="text">good stuff [100]</div> <div class="text">great stuff[100,010]</div> <div class="text">best stuff[70, 130, 180]</div>  $('div.text').html(function (i, t) {     return t.replace(/\[.*\]/g, ''); })
