Javascript File path fix

Question

How do i convert the string;

var s='uploads\product\picture\20Duleek_Lime_Green1.jpg';

into

'uploads/product/picture/20Duleek_Lime_Green1.jpg';

The standard javascript function replace doesnt seem to work.

var s='uploads\product\picture\20Duleek_Lime_Green1.jpg';

strReplace = s.replace('\\', '//');

alert(strReplace);

@ianpgall, well that is partially right, if you did that, it would only replace the first instance. — epascarello

sorry i ment "replace" and not replaceAll was using that to test another function. — fuzzy dunlop

@epascarello crap, i guess i'm mixing up .replace() methods between languages. sorry, you're right! — Ian

There is no replaceAll in JavaScript, use a regular expression with a global flag.

var s='uploads\\product\\picture\\20Duleek_Lime_Green1.jpg';
var strReplace = s.replace(/\\/g, '/');
alert(strReplace);

There is no such function in javascript called replaceAll

You can use regex with replace() to achieve what you want to do.
