Match @(\w+) and replace in javascript

Question

I\'m trying to match @(\\w+) in a div content and remove it.

Here\'s what i\'ve tried : http://jsfiddle.net/mxgde6m7/1/ .

@(\\w+) works , but it doesn\'t replace

Answer 1

Using a RegExp constructor, you need two backslashes \\ in place of each backslash \.

var find = '@(\\w+)';
