change part of link with javascript

Question

I have datatable rows links coming with data and I wanna change part of the link text.

So, for example, when it's 200.0.0.10 change it to 160.11.10.12

I tried it with this code but nothing happened, the link remains unchanged:

var url = (data['Chemin'])

window.location.href = url.replace("http:\\200.0.0.10", "\\160.11.10.12\Images");

Are you sure than data['Chemin'] value is http:\\200.0.0.10? — Royce

If you are just wanting to replace them... why are you trying to redirect your whole page to it in the same go? — IncredibleHat

Use // in your url and it should work.

 window.location.href = url.replace("http:\\200.0.0.10", "http://160.11.10.12/Images");

If that doesn't work it's because of the escaped backslashes so do:

 window.location.href = url.replace("http:\\\\200.0.0.10", "http://160.11.10.12/Images");

Using backslashes \ in JS is an escape character which means that the next character has special meaning e.g. \n means new-line. So if you want a \ in a string you have to double it.
