Question

For example:

 var str="abc\'defgh\'123";

I want to remove all the \ using Javascript. I have tried with several functions but still can’t replace all the forward slashes.

Answer 1

I’ve posted a huuuge load of bollocks on JS and multiple replace functionality here. But in your case any of the following ways will do nicely:

str = str.replace('\\',' ');//Only replaces first occurrence 
str = str.replace(/\\/g,' ');
str = str.split('\\').join(' ');

As @Guillaume Poussel pointed out, the first approach only replaces one occurrence of the backslash. Don’t use that one, either use the regex, or (if your string is quite long) use the split().join() approach.
