js replace replaceall code example

Example 1: javascript replace all

const p = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. If the dog reacted, was it really lazy?';

console.log(p.replaceAll('dog', 'monkey'));
// expected output: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy monkey. If the monkey reacted, was it really lazy?"

// global flag required when calling replaceAll with regex
const regex = /Dog/ig;
console.log(p.replaceAll(regex, 'ferret'));
// expected output: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy ferret. If the ferret reacted, was it really lazy?"

    var escapedFind=find.replace(/([.*+?^=!:${}()|\[\]\/\\])/g, "\\$1");
    return str.replace(new RegExp(escapedFind, 'g'), replace);
}
//usage example
var sentence="How many shots did Bill take last night? That Bill is so crazy!";
var blameSusan=replaceAll(sentence,"Bill","Susan");
