Problem pattern matching, string.replace backslash...

[martindavey]

I have a string that contains a dos path (several back slashes).

I want to replace them with forward slashes.

I get an error (expected ']') when I define the regular expression:

var myStr = "c:\path\file";
var Reggy = new RegExp( "[\\]","g" );

myStr = myStr.replace( RegExp, "//" );

Any ideas (the above will work for other characters, I'm just having trouble with the backslash) ???

var re = /\\/g;
str = str.replace(re,'/')

Thanks, that worked great.

(Strange the other syntax never worked).
