How to replace 2 strings with one sting javascript

Question

i Have a string in that sometimes ? sometimes � will come i want to replace it with single quotation.

i want some thing like this:

var Option = Option.replace("?"|"�", "'");

But this code is not working how can i write string replace in javascript.?

If your question is how to do this in JavaScript, don't spam the PHP tags [tag:php] and [tag:str-replace]. — T.J. Crowder, Apr 12 '17 at 08:33

You use a regular expression with a character class:

option = option.replace(/[?�]/g, "'");

var option = "Testing? Testing� Testing";
option = option.replace(/[?�]/g, "'");
console.log(option);

I added the g flag on the theory you probably don't want to replace just the first one. If you do want to replace just the first one, remove the g flag.

@AbdulWaheed: It's conceptually identical, just look up how to use `preg_replace`. – T.J. Crowder Apr 12 '17 at 08:39
