Question

I’ve been trying to replace to following string using the following…

var r = response.replace('var s = getService().getValue(\"join\")', 'null');

However, the String remains un changed and I can’t understand why. The String itself takes the following format..

{"r":[],"c":true,"c":{"tags":
[],"":3023,"s":".src.util.S@6f4e9e57","class":"class 
src.util.dtos.DTO","Type":"public","c":"m","s":0,"de
fault":false,"id":544,"d":"","n":4,"na":"S","tagString":"","Pages":5},"results":[],"q":"","msg":"var 
s = getService().getValue(\"join\")

The actual string itself is a little longer but I hope you get the idea from that abstract.

Answer 1

If your

var s = getService().getValue(\"join\")

part is a JavaScript code inside a JSON string, then you need to quote them again before replacing.

var r = response.replace('var s = getService().getValue(\\"join\\")', 'null');
