Need quick JS help

JavaScript parsing URL and replacing characters

[lkalisky]

Hi,

I'm trying to use JS to parse the URL of a page and replace characters within it. Specifically, I want to take a URL like this:

http://www.domain.com/classifieds/short_term_rentals-b408.html

and populate and print a variable with this:

short+term+rentals

Here is what I have:

var string=(location.href); 
var getit= new Array();
var getit=string.split("classifieds/");
var result=getit[1];
var filename=result.replace("_","+");
var q=filename.split("-");
document.write(q[0]); 

but this is only replacing the *first* underscore in the URL and is printing:

paris+short_term_rentals

How can I get it to loop and replace ALL the underscores?

Thanks for any help!

TRY

var re = /_/g;
var filename=result.replace(re,"+");

in place of

var filename=result.replace("_","+");
