Good morning,

I can't find the way to replace, in a text string, the "/" char with the "\"
char.
I know that exists an instruction called replace that has the following
sintax :

mystring = mystring.replace(/oldtext/flags , "newtext")

the problem is that my oldtext is just the slash ( / ) character!!!

Anyone can tell me which is the correct sintax for my case ???

Thanks a lot.

Fabrizio

In regular expressions, you have to escape the / with a \.
In strings, you have to escape the \ with another \.

mystring = mystring.replace(/\//g , "\\");
