replace problem

[squiblo]

The first parameter in the replace function is incorrect but I do not know the right way of putting it.

 

var replace4_1 = "*(#92)*"; //  \
var message1 = message1.replace(/\/g, replace4_1);

 

Thanks

Use two backslashes: replace(/\\/g, replace4_1)  Without the second backslash (or first, depending how you look at it), JavaScript thinks that you are trying to escape the second forward slash.

Thank you salathe, that has worked perfect, i also have another small problem, the following does not work

 

var message1 = message1.replace(/+/g, replace5_1);

Use a backslash: replace(/\+/g, replace5_1) Without the backslash, JavaScript thinks that you are trying to use a quantifier (to match one or more of something, e.g. a+) yet there is nothing to quantify so it throws an error.
