Javascript replace function reg exp with apex

Question

I'm using javascript replace function, but it doesn't seem to work with the apex:

myText = "This is an apex ' and this is another apex ' ";
myText.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/,''));

This should skip the apex ('), but it doesn't!!

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks!

As written this will only replace a single occurrence, add a g (global) modifier:

myText.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/g, ''));

This will result in:

Thisisanapexandthisisanotherapex

Here is an updated fiddle.
