JavaScript String Replace

[kkiranonly]

Hi,This is KiranKumar and new to this forum.Recently i faced a problem like,I have a String like:var str = "Sony DCR30 PC CAMERA";in JavaScript.So,i want to replace all empty strings in str with "_";I used like :str.replace(\ \,"_");//But it's get affected only for the first space.I mean like this : Sony_DCR30And not for rest of all,and not even displaying the remaining string.So,i require your help in this regards.Is there any other function like(replaceAll() in java) to resolve this issue.Looking forward to recieve an Immediate Response.Thanks for spending your valuable time for me.......RegardsKiran Kumar.K

Hi,We can resolve it by just taking that string into a loop Use loop likefor(int i=0;i<str.length();i++){str = str.replace(\ \,"_");}

a more efficient way would be like this.

var loopProtect = 0; //protect against infinite loopswhile(str.indexOf(" ") != -1 && loopProtect < str.length){    str = str.replace(\ \,"_");    loopProtect++;}

With your code you were looping for the length of the string even if all the spaces were already gone.The code I provided will only loop while there are still spaces present.
