Can’t work this one out, this matches a single star:
// Escaped multiply
Text = Text.replace(new RegExp("\\*", "g"), '[MULTIPLY]');
But I need it to match \*, I’ve tried:
\\*
\\\\*
\\\\\*
Can’t work it out, thanks for any help!
You were close,
\\\\\\*would have done it.Better use verbatim strings, that makes it easier:
\\matches a literal backslash (\\\\in a normal string),\*matches an asterisk (\\*in a normal string).
