That will only replace the first occurence.

You need to use regexps if you want to do that.
See:

Not really. You can use the String.replace function with a loop.

code:

---

function replace(s,from,to){
    while (s.indexOf(from) > -1){
        s = s.replace(from,to);
    }
    return s;
}

---

Then you can say:

code:

---

var StringToReplace = 'aaaaaaaa';
StringToReplace = replace(StringToReplace,'a','A');

Although you indeed can, it is also a bit useless to do that. One should indeed use the regular expression syntax for replacing all occurences of a search string. This is even documented like that in the official MS JScript references.


PS: your example code for the loop will produce wrong results in certain cases. And actually shows why you should not use a loop like that to replace all occurences of a string.
