How To Search Urdu In Jquery Chosen Plugin?is There Another Way To Search Urdu In Selectbox?

Basically I want to have search option in select box with jquery chosen implemented on select box.All option are in Urdu Language.How can I expand chosen search to match Urdu? Or t

Solution 1:

There is a very simple method to apply all you RegEx logic(that one can apply easily in English) for any Language using Unicode.

For matching a range of Unicode Characters like all Alphabets [A-Za-z] we can use

[\u0041-\u005A] where \u0041 is Hex-Code for A and \u005A is Hex Code for Z

'matchCAPS leTTer'.match(/[\u0041-\u005A]+/g)
//output ["CAPS", "TT"]

In the same way we can use other Unicode characters or their equivalent Hex-Code according to their Hexadecimal Order (eg: \u0A10 to \u0A1F) provided by unicode.org

Try:

[ڀ-ڴ]

It will match all characters between ڀ and ڴ if provided by unicode.org in this order

I don't know Arabic/Urdu :)

For matching: you can easily get any plugin for English, modify it little bit with Urdu/Arabic chars and its done.
