How to replace all double quotes to single quotes using jquery?

Question

I need to replace all double quotes to single quotes using jquery.

How I will do that.

I tested with this code but its not working properly.

newTemp = newTemp.mystring.replace(/"/g, "'");

Answer 1

Use double quote to enclose the quote or escape it.

newTemp = mystring.replace(/"/g, "'"); 

or

newTemp = mystring.replace(/"/g, '\''); 

Answer 2

You can also use replaceAll(search, replaceWith) [MDN].

Then, make sure you have a string by wrapping one type of quotes by a different type:

 'a "b" c'.replaceAll('"', "'")  // result: "a 'b' c"       'a "b" c'.replaceAll(`"`, `'`)  // result: "a 'b' c"   // Using RegEx. You MUST use a global RegEx(Meaning it'll match all occurrences).  'a "b" c'.replaceAll(/\"/g, "'")  // result: "a 'b' c" 

Important(!) if you choose regex:

when using a regexp you have to set the global ("g") flag; otherwise, it will throw a TypeError: "replaceAll must be called with a global RegExp".
