Javascript and backslashes replace

Question

here is my string:

var str = \"This is my \\string\";

This is my code:

var replaced = str.replace(\"/\\\\/\", \"\\\\\\\\\")         


        

Answer 1

The string doesn't contain a backslash, it contains the \s escape sequence.

var str = "This is my \\string";

And if you want a regular expression, you should have a regular expression, not a string.

var replaced = str.replace(/\\/, "\\\\");
