Question

How to replace ‘$txt$’ in javascript.I want to replace all occurrences in the string

It’s what i tried

if (html.indexOf('$txt$') > -1) {
    html = html.replace(/$txt$/ig, '<input type=text></input>');
}

but it won’t replace the string.What’s my mistake.Please help me

Answer 1

all you need to do is escape the $ sign since it has a meaning in a regular expression. Change it to

html = html.replace(/\$txt\$/ig, '<input type="text" />');

and it should be fine 🙂

edit: $ means end of line in a regular expression 🙂
