How replace all "/" to "-" in a string using Javascript

Question

I have a string like

abcd/123/xyz/345

I want to replace every "/" with "-" using JavaScript. The result string should be abcd-123-xyz-345

I have tried,

string.replace("/","-")

But it replaces the first "/" character only. The result is abcd-123/xyz/345

And

string.replace("///g","-");

is not working as well. Is there any solution for this?

Answer 1

You can use Regex. You need to escape using backslash \ before the /.

A backslash that precedes a special character indicates that the next character is not special and should be interpreted literally

var str = 'abcd/123/xyz/345';
let result = str.replace(/\//g,'-');
console.log(result);

Answer 2

Please try this,

var str='abcd/123/xyz/345'
var newstr=str.split('/').join('-');
console.log(newstr)
