See Also Applies To

##### Description

> Replaces the text found by a regular expression with other text.

##### Syntax

> stringObj.replace(rgExp, replaceText)

> The replace method syntax has these parts:

> Part | Description
> stringObj | Required. The String object or literal on which to perform the replace. This object is not modified by the replace method.
> rgExp | Required. A Regular Expression object describing what to search for.
> replaceText | Required. A String object or literal containing the text to replace for every successful match of rgExp in stringObj.

##### Remarks

> The result of the replace method is a copy of stringObj after all replacements have been made.

> The method updates the contents of the RegExp object.

> The following example illustrates the use of the replace method:

> >     function ReplaceDemo()
> >     {
> >       var r, re;
> >       var s = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy yellow dog.";
> >       re = /fox/i;
> >       r = s.replace(re, "pig");
> >       return(r);
> >     }
