Replace all backslashes in a string with a pipe

Question

I have the string: \\rnosapmdwq\\salesforce\\R3Q\\OutputFiles\\Archive

I\'m getting a unrecognized escape sequence when I try to send this to a .NET web service.

Answer 1

The correct syntax would be: Path = Path.replace(/\\/g, "|");

Working example at: http://jsfiddle.net/eDKej/.

Example (extra code for demonstration purposes only):

var Path = $("#path").text();
Path  = Path.replace(/\\/g, "|");
$("#new-path").append(Path);

Answer 2

You don't need to make a regex a string, and it helps having that first / in there

Path = Path.replace(/\\/g, "|")
