String replace Double quotes into curly brackets [duplicate]

Question

How to replace all the Double quotes into both open and close curly brackets.

let str = "This" is my "new" key "string";

I tried with this regex

str.replace(/"/,'{').replace(/"/,'}')

But I end up with this:

{This} is my "new" key "string"

Here am getting only the first word is changing but i would like to change all the words. I want the result to be:

{This} is my {new} key {string}

Thanks in advance.

Try using a global regex and use capture groups:

let str = '"This" is my "new" key "string"';
str = str.replace(/"([^"]*)"/g, '{$1}');
console.log(str);

The "([^"]*)" regex captures a ", followed by 0 or more things that aren't another ", and a closing ". The replacement uses $1 as a reference for the things that were wrapped in quotes.
