Sorry about the multi-post, but you have two groups named JScript.

Sorry, if you've seen this one before, but there are 2 JScript newsgroups.

I have a classic ASP page containing a javascript function that runs
string.replace commands, such as

string.replace(/\\x3C/g,""); // < character
(note I also tried one \ instead of 2 before the 3C)

The command doesn't error out, it just does nothing. I checked the string
with an Alert both before and after, but no change. I even tried a simple
replace a with b, but nothing. Again, no error, just no replacing.

I checked many internet sources and my code appears to be correct.

Any ideas?


s = s.replace(/a/g,"b");

replace does not mutate the object against which it is called. It generates
a new string which it returns.
