jQuery: How to escape single and double quotes with backslash

Question

I want to escape single and double quotes with a backslash in one line rather than two.

Example for single quote:

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

Is there a way to do this at the same time for double quotes included?

Sniffer Answered this very well below, and I ended up escaping all characters we needed as follows:

str = str.replace(/(['"&:;])/g, "\\$1");

Thanks again Sniffer for the quick response!

Answer 1

Try this:

str = str.replace(/(['"])/g, "\\$1");
