#12053 — 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.

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.

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('');
