Replace forward slash “/ ” character in JavaScript string?

Question

I have this string:

var someString = \"23/03/2012\";

and want to replace all the \"/\" with \"-\".

I tried to do this:

<         


        

Answer 1

First of all, that's a forward slash. And no, you can't have any in regexes unless you escape them. To escape them, put a backslash (\) in front of it.

someString.replace(/\//g, "-");
