How to globally replace a forward slash in a JavaScript string?

The following would do but only will replace one occurence:

"string".replace('/', 'ForwardSlash');

For a global replacement, or if you prefer regular expressions, you just have to escape the slash:

"string".replace(/\//g, 'ForwardSlash');

You need to wrap the forward slash to avoid cross browser issues or //commenting out.

str = 'this/that and/if';

var newstr = str.replace(/[/]/g, 'ForwardSlash');

Use a regex literal with the g modifier, and escape the forward slash with a backslash so it doesn't clash with the delimiters.

var str = 'some // slashes', replacement = '';
var replaced = str.replace(/\//g, replacement);
