Question

I have a simple question how do I remove a \ with regex?

Thanks

I have tried it like this .replace(/\\/ig, '');

I am using javascript and classic asp

Now it works: .replace(/\\/ig, ''); somehow the first time I tried it, it were not working! – Thanks for all the quick answers!

Answer 1

I tested out the following and it worked (in a test bench) on the first \ (due to "\\"), but not the second \ (because it was in a string, thus acting as an escape character).

<script type="text/javascript">
var str="\\ \ ";
document.write(str.replace(/\\/ig,"replaced"));
</script>

Are you sure that the \ you wish to replace is not just acting as an escape character and doesn’t really exist in the output?
