I am trying to parse a string like this
var temp = JSON.parse('{"FHPosition":"consultant","FDesc":"apr4","FHId":"i:0#.w|spdev\gkr"}'.replace("\\","\\\\"))
console.log(temp.FHId)
//expected output: i:0#.w|spdev\gkr
//actual output: i:0#.w|spdevgkrBut when I try to replace backslash or do any actions with string backslash vanishes from a string. Is there any way to replace backslash without it vanishing?
As shown in this answer, unless the character after the backslash is a valid escape sequence (a list can be found here), it will remove the backslash from the string entirely. I believe you need to first use a regular expression in .replace(), and secondly you should stringify the data inside the parse statement before you replace it. Try using this code:
var temp = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify('{"FHPosition":"consultant","FDesc":"apr4","FHId":"i:0#.w|spdev\gkr"}').replace("\\","\\\\"))
console.log(temp.FHId);
Hopefully this helps!
