Replacing in Javascript " with '

Question

I have a string and it needs to be passed on as a JSON, but then, inside the string, I cannot have " signs, so I was thinking about replacing them with ' signs in my Javascript.

I tried this:

var myString = myString.replace("\"", "\'");

But unfortunately, it only replaced the first occurrence of " in my string. Help?

You should use a regex to solve the problem.

Hope it helps you.

var myString = 'this "is" a test'
myString = myString.replace(/\"/g, "'");
console.log(myString)

use the regular expression, with the flag g to replace

var myString = myString.replace(/\"/g, '\'');

Here split the string with " and join the string with '.

var data = '[{"endDate":"2017-04-22","req":"2017-04-19","nr":2,"type":"CO","startDate":"2017-04-20","Dep":"2017-04-19"},{"endDate":"2017-04-22","req":"2017-04-20","nr":3,"type":"CM","startDate":"2017-04-20","Dep":"2017-04-19"}]';
var result=data.split('"').join("'");
console.log(result);

You can achieve this using the global flag /g. Try this:

var myString=myString.replace(/"/g,"\'");
