Replace all strings

How to replace all strings at the same time?

>>> var a = "a,b,c,d";
>>> a.toString().replace(",", "")
"ab,c,d"

If I understood correctly, you want to replace all the commas in a
variable with '', right? Then you might use a RegExp such as:

var a = "a,b,c,d";
a.replace(/,/g, '')

Yes, thanks. I hope that the use of regular expressions been right for
main browsers.

var a = "a,b,c,d";
a = a.replace(/,/g, '');

If you don't feel comfortable with Regex, try:

var a = "a,b,c,d";
a = a.split(',').join('');

Hi,
The "searchValue" argument of the String.prototype.replace method can be
a regular expression or not, according to the standards (ECMA-262
Editions 3 and 5, section 15.5.4.11).

Cheers,
Joao Rodrigues (J.R.)

More importantly, the RegExp initialiser (sic!) and constructor are
supported since at least JScript 5.5.6330 (IE 5.5), JavaScript 1.5
(NN6/Fx1), V8 3.6.6.19 (Cr16), JavaScriptCore 531.22.7 (Safari 4.0.5),
Opera ECMAScript 7.02, KDE JavaScript 4.6.5 (Konqueror 4.6.5).

Because I try to use American English on the Net, but the ECMAScript
Language Specification uses British English there (probably because it is
published by Ecma International based in Geneva).

However, your question has made me look it up again. The correct terms are
"Regular Expression *Literal*" (ECMA-262 5.1 Ed., section 7.8.5), "Array
Initialiser" (11.1.4) and "Object Initialiser" (11.1.5). Thanks.

Sometimes, what you learn is wrong. If those wrong ideas are close to the
root of the knowledge tree you build on a particular subject, pruning the
bad branches can sometimes cause the whole tree to collapse.
