replace function???

[Padrino]

I want to know if there is a function in Javascript that can replace charater by another one.....ex:

var htmlcontent;
htmlcontent ="hello world";

htmlcontent= replace(htmlcontent,o,i);

alert(htmlcontent);




and I want the alert to show "helli wirld". Is there a function that can do that???

Yeah, if you use regular expressions this will be easy.

var myString = "Hello World";
var results = myString.replace(/o/gi,"i");
alert(results);

regexpr is /texttolookfor/g is for globlal, i is for ignore case
