Matching a Forward Slash with a regex
You can escape it like this.
/\//ig; // Matches /
or just use indexOf
if(str.indexOf("/") > -1)
You need to escape the / with a \.
/\//ig // matches /
If you want to use / you need to escape it with a \
var word = /\/(\w+)/ig;
You can escape it by preceding it with a \ (making it \/), or you could use new RegExp('/') to avoid escaping the regex.
See example in JSFiddle.
'/'.match(/\//) // matches /
'/'.match(new RegExp('/') // matches /
