Javascript replace double quotes with slash

Question

I want to replace " with \" with Javascript.

I have:

text = text.toString().replace("\"", '\\"')

The result:

\\"

Answer 1

Try this:

text = text.toString().replace(/"/g, '\\"') 

Or this:

text = text.toString().replace('"', '\\"') 

Answer 2

I have a small suggestion based on antyrat's answer.

text = text.toString().replace(/\\"/g, '"').replace(/"/g, '\\"'); 

This extra step will replace all the \" to " first, and then replace all the " back to \". It will help when your current string contains a combination of \" and ", especially when the string is a result from JSON.stringify()

Answer 3

This will do:

text = text.toString().replace("\"", '\\\"');

You basically have to escape both '\' and '"' by \

Answer 4

var text = JSON.stringify(JSON.stringify(text))
