[flexcoders] Re: Replacing double slash with a single slash

2011-11-15 Thread valdhor 
Can you give an example source string and how you would want it to look? Or a 
couple so that I don't just look at a single instance?

 Hi Valdor,
 
 Thanks for the reply, I've just tried this code but no joy... :(
 
 var doubleSlash : RegExp = //g;
 var slash : RegExp = //;
 winMessage = winMessage.replace( doubleSlash, slash );
 
 I'm sure it's easy when you know how :)

  As I understand it the backslash character is special in both the regex
  and the replacement string, so it has to be double escaped in both places.
  That means, for every single backslash you want to match or insert, you
  have to put *four* backslashes in the regex or replacement string.

   Hi,
  
   I'm trying to replace a double slash with a single slash and am having a
   little trouble, has anyone done this before?
  
   Here's what I've got thus far...
  
   var doubleSlash : RegExp = /(\\)(\\)/g;
   var slash : RegExp = /(\\)/;
  
   winMessage = winMessage.replace( doubleSlash, slash );
  
  
   Cheers,
