Question

I would like to do a replace with two characters.

Below is my code, my problem is now i need to replace ‘/’ as well rather than just ‘-‘, run replace twice is not really a good idea, and i am pretty bad at regular expression. Is anyone can help me write a RegExp which will search the whole string and replace any ‘-‘ o r’/’ have.

var myPattern:RegExp = / /gi;
productId.replace(myPattern, '-')

Match any character within [] of your RegEx.

To replace both “/” and ” ” (space):

replace(/[\/ ]/g, "-");

Example:

var s:String = "2012/10/29 12:29";
trace(s.replace(/[\/ ]/g, "-"));

Would produce:

2012-10-29-12:29
