JavaScript equivalent of PHP's preg_replace
I am using a simple regex to replace break tags with newlines:
br_regex = /<br>/;
input_content = input_content.replace(br_regex, "\n");
This only replaces the first instance of a break tag, but I need to replace all. preg_match_all() would do the trick in PHP, but I'd like to know the JavaScript equivalent.
Use the global flag, g:
foo.replace(/<br>/g,"\n")
JS idiom for non-Regexp global replace:
input_content.split('<br>').join('\n')
