Question

Remove Backslashes from JSON Data in JavaScript or jQuery

var str = \"{\"data\":\"{\\n \\\"taskNames\\\" : [\\n \\\"01 Jan\\\",\\n \\\"02 Jan\\\",\\n \\\"03          


        

Answer 1

Your string is invalid, but assuming it was valid, you'd have to do:

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

When you want to replace all the occurences with .replace, the first parameter must be a regex, if you supply a string, only the first occurrence will be replaced, that's why your replace wouldn't work.
