Question

I have this

 var date = $('#Date').val();

this get the value in the textbox what would look like this

12/31/2009

Now I do this on it

var id = 'c_' + date.replace("/", '');

and the result is

c_1231/2009

It misses the last ‘/’ I don’t understand why though.

Answer 1

You need to set the g flag to replace globally:

date.replace(new RegExp("/", "g"), '')
// or
date.replace(/\//g, '')

Otherwise only the first occurrence will be replaced.
