Question

in Javascript, I am having some trouble replacing ‘/’ with ‘/’ in a string. I tried this

string.replaceAll("\\/","/"));

What’s wrong with this ? I am escaping the escape character i.e. the backslash.

Please advise. Thanks
Edit: I have an escaped URL such as http://www.gogobeans.com. I need to change this to http://www.gogobeans.com

I’ve never heard of replaceAll method in pure javascript, try replace with a regex:

 string.replace(/\\\//g, "/");

I’ve escaped the escape character with \\ then escaped the scope character /, it should work.
