Replace Pipe and Comma with Regex in Javascript

I'm sitting here with The Good Parts in hand but I'm still none the wiser.

Can anyone knock up a regex for me that will allow me to replace any instances of | and , from a string.

Also, could anyone point me in the direction of a really good resource for learning regular expressions, especially in javascript (are they a particular flavour??) It really is a weak point in my knowledge.

Cheers.

str.replace(/(||,)/g, replaceWith) don't forget the g at the end so it seaches the string globally, if you don't put it the regex will only replace the first instance of the characters.

What is saying is replace | (you need to escape this character) OR(|) ,

Nice Cheatsheet here
