Iâm having problem with replace method, I canât replace the char â[â, â]â and â/â. I tried with back slash, ascii, and didnât worked. Look the example:

var tex = "[link href=â...â] Test [/link]";

tex = tex.replace(/[link href=/gi,'<a href=');
tex = tex.replace(/[/link]/gi,'</a>');

document.write(tex);

Someone have any idea?

[ and ] are reserved characters, used to delineate character sets such as [1-9] for digits except zero. You should be able to write:

Code:

/\[link\]/
