Converting an URL to JSON encoded format

[jasonalien]

Hello there, I want to have a function that turns this : http://examplesite.com/folders/images/myphoto.jpg to this : http:\/\/examplesite.com\/folders\/images\/myphoto.jpg Can any of you help me with that? I'm not that good at JS but I need this : / Thanks.

If all that you want is to replace a '/' with '\/' then I would recommend you look into the String.replace method you get with javascript.

function repl(url) {
return url.replace('/', '\/');
}

But since you mentioned you were trying to turn a URL into JSON I am thinking there is more to what you are asking. In which case I would recommend the following: http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/parsing-urls-with-the-dom/[^]

    //the string to work with:

        //the char(s) to change to:

    //using RegExp
    function regexp\_changeCharsTo(charIn, from, to) {
        var regExpFrom = RegExp(from, 'g');
        return charIn.replace(regExpFrom, to);
