Character replace using jquery

[bastunqk]

Hi.
I’m trying to replace character in url using jquery.
Here’s what i’ve tried so far.
var s = $(‘.breadWhole a:nth-of-type(3)’).attr( ‘href’ );
s.replace(‘//’, ‘/’);
alert(s);
So i take the link it is something like http://example.com//test
I need to remove second // from the url and make it with one /.
Please help.
Regards.

It’s late and I’m sleepy so not sure if this is the best solution, but this RegEx should work /([^:]\/)\//g, use it like:

s = s.replace(/([^:]\/)\//g, '$1');

Basically it replaces every // with / as long as it’s not preceded by a colon (like in http://).

Not jQuery, but I don’t think jQuery got any helper functions for this anyway. Curious about use cases though.

Thank you. It worked like a charm.
