Does this computer see mpos2? if not, why?

[thenextbesthang]

var input = window.prompt("Enter Text Here","see this: [[Image:wiki-en.png|Wikipedia]]");
var mpos1 = input.indexOf("[[Image");

for(i=mpos1;i<=input.length;i++)
{
var mpos2 = input.indexOf(":");
}

var istr1 = input.substring(mpos1, mpos2);

Hm. I'd do:

var input = window.prompt("Enter Text Here","see this: [[Image:wiki-en.png|Wikipedia]]"),
  text = input.match(/[[Image:([^\|]+)|([^\]]+)]]/),
  url = text[0];
text = text[1];

	    <script type= "text/javascript">
	   var input = window.prompt("Enter Text Here","see this: [[Image:wiki-en.png|Wikipedia]]");
		var mpos1 = input.indexOf("[[Image:");
		var init = "[[Image:"
		var colon = init.lastIndexOf(":")
		
	for(i=mpos1;i<=input.length;i++)
	   {
	   var mpos2 = input.indexOf("|");
	   }
        for(i=mpos1;i<=input.length;i++)
	   {
	   var mpos3 = input.indexOf("]]");
	   }
		var istr0 = input.substring(0, mpos1)
		var istr1 = input.substring(mpos1, colon);
		var websi = input.substring(colon, mpos2)
		var istr2 = input.substring(mpos2, mpos2+1);
		var istr3 = input.substring(mpos2+1, mpos3);
		var istr4 = input.substring(mpos3, mpos3+2);
		var istr5 = input.substring(mpos3+2, input.length);

	    if(istr1.indexOf("[[Image:") != -1)
		  {
		   var ipos1 = istr1.replace("[[Image:", '<img src="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:');
		  }
	    
	    if(istr2.indexOf("|") != -1)
		  {
		   var ipos2 = istr2.replace("|", '" alt="');
		  }
	    if(istr4.indexOf("]]") != -1)
		  {
		   var ipos3 = istr4.replace("]]", '</img>"');
		  }
	     var newimage = (istr0+ipos1+websi+ipos2+istr3+ipos3+istr5);
		document.write(newimage);	
----

when I output this, it doesn't output ipos1.
It doesn't even transform it.

I'm thinkin it has to do with the fact that i can't find mpos2.

This is really very ugly. Regex is much nicer.

function unWikifyImages(str) {
  return str.replace(/\[\[Image:([^\|]+)\|([^\|]+)\]\]/, '<img src="$1" alt="$2">');
}
