Question

in my regular expression, I tried to remove all “{” and “}”s from a string.
Pushing the script with packer/minimizer scripts, breaks them.
That’s why I’d like to know about a better and more compatible way of writing:
mystring.replace(/\{/g,"");?

After re-reading the question, it sounds like you’ve found a bug with the minifier/packer. My first suggestion would be to use a better minimizer that doesn’t have these issues, but if you’re stuck with what you’re using, you could try using the unicode escape sequence in the regular expression:

mystring.replace(/\u007b/g, '');

Alternatively, you could try String.prototype.split and Array.prototype.join:

mystring.split('{').join('');
