Hello:
I am trying to replace plus signs in a string with another character, but
I am getting a lot of errors. Below is a simple example in which a text
in a string is replaced by another:
var str ="She sells sea shells by the sea"; // original string
var strCut = "shells"; // text to be replaced by the one below
var replStr = "food"; // text that replaces the one above
// replacing actions
var reg = new RegExp("\\b" + strCut + "\\b", "gi" )
var newstr = str.replace(reg, replStr)
// output
document.write(newstr)
The original string becomes "She sells sea food by the sea"
Now, how can I make the variable strCut be a plus sign?
Thanks in advance
