This is covered in the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/" rel="noreferrer">Mozilla Developer Network</a>'s <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions#Using_Special_Characters" rel="noreferrer">JavaScript Guide on Regular Expressions</a>, where they present the following utility function:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>function escapeRegExp(str) { return str.replace(/([.*+?^=!:${}()|\[\]\/\\])/g, "\\$1"); } </code></pre> <p>So in order to make the <code>replaceAll()</code> function above safer, it could be modified to the following if you also include <code>escapeRegExp</code>:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>function replaceAll(str, find, replace) { return str.replace(new RegExp(escapeRegExp(find), 'g'), replace); } </code></pre>
