I want to change all slashes into one string and I can't find solution. This is my code:
var str = 'some\stack\overflow',
replacement = '/';
var replaced = str.replace("\", "/");
console.log(replaced);
console.log("I want to see this: some/stack/overflow");
Try regular expressions with the global (g) flag.
var str = 'some\\stack\\overflow';
var regex = /\\/g;
var replaced = str.replace(regex, '/');
var str = 'some\\stack\overflow'
^^ This is incorrect. Corrected string is-
var str = 'some\\stack\\overflow'
Also, use global regular expression.
var replaced = str.replace(/\\/g, "/");
Well,
your str contains only one \\ group, you try to replace only \\ so is normally to see something like some/stackoverflow, so your code is :
var str = 'some\\stack\overflow' // your code
and str must be
var str = 'some\\stack\\overflow'
then will works
Other than using regex to replace every occurrence, not just the first one as described here
(So, use str.replace(/\\/g, "/");)
You need to fix your string before passing it to JavaScript.
"some\stack\overflow" will be interpreted as "somestackoverflow". "\s" and "\o" are treated as escape sequences, not "slash letter", so the string doesn't really have any slashes. You need "some\\stack\\overflow". Why? that's why:
"s\tackoverflow" == "s ackoverflow"
"stackove\rflow" == "stackove
flow"
"\s" and "\o" just happen to not mean anything special.
\ in "stack\overflow", because it's disregarded by JS interpreter as soon as it parses that string.Try Some Thing like this:
var str = 'some\stack\overflow';
replacement = '/';
replaced = str.replace("\", "/");
console.log(replaced);
console.log("I want to see this: some/stack/overflow");
str.replaceonly replaces the first occurrence" (which is part of your problem), while the hard part is replacing single unescaped\.
