I just want my regular expression to match a backslash. Thats all.
Tried giving [\\]. Aint working. Tried[\x5c] not working. But this hexadecimal character match is working for all the other characters.

Its so silly. I'm not able to do.. :'(

Ok. I got it to work with [\\\\]. But i didn't understand why you need four. They had tried explaining in that site but i didn't understand.

How about "var regex = /\\/ig;"
Try that.
