How to replace all points in a string in JavaScript

I have a string 2012/04/13. I need to replace the / with a -. How can i do this ?

var dateV = '2012/04/13';
dateV= dateV.replace('/','-');

It only replaces the first / and not all / in the string (2012-04/13). What should i do to correct this ?

Answer 1

You need to do a global regex replace using the global regex option. This should work for you:

var dateV = '2012/04/13';
var regex = new RegExp("/", "g"); // "g" - global option
dateV = dateV.replace(regex, "-");
console.log(dateV);
