Question

i ran into a simple problem, which I think you guys can solve. I am programming javascript, where I use the following code to replace all strings in a string with another string:

str = str.replace(/find/g,”replace”)

Yes, the code works, but what I want to do is:

str = str.replace(/</p>/g,”replace”)

It won’t work because of:

</p>. 

It dosen’t like the /.

Anyone who can help me?

Answer 1

Use an escape:

str.replace(/<\/p>/g, "replace");
              ^--- escape char.
