RegExp String replace Error

Question

i want to replace all occurrences of "+" in a string with a space

    Query = Query.replace(new RegExp("+", "g")," ");

But it raises error "SyntaxError: invalid quantifier" on above line What i am doing wrong here?

In the answers below they are escaping the + character because it has special meaning: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/… — Jason Aller

Query.replace(/+/g,' ');

Will replace any occurrences of + with space.

How about

Query.replace(/\+/g, "");

You will need to backslash the +
