Removing backslashes from strings in javascript

Question

I have a url in this format:

http:\\/\\/example.example.ru\\/u82651140\\/audio\\/song.mp3

How can I remove the extra \"\\\"s from the string? I

Answer 1

Try

str = str.replace(/\\/g, '');

Answer 2

Try:

string.replace(/\\\//g, "/");

This will specifically match the "\/" pattern so that you don't unintentionally remove any other backslashes that there may be in the URL (e.g. in the hash part).

Answer 3

function replaceAllBackSlash(targetStr){
    var index=targetStr.indexOf("\\");
    while(index >= 0){
        targetStr=targetStr.replace("\\","");
        index=targetStr.indexOf("\\");
    }
    return targetStr;
}
