I want to perform a global replace of string using String.replace in Javascript.


In the documentation I read that I can do this with /g, i.e. for example;


var mystring = mystring.replace(/test/g, mystring);

and this will replace all occurrences inside mystring. No quotes for the expression.


But if I have a variable to find, how can I do this without quotes?


I've tried something like this:


var stringToFind = "test";

//first try


mystring = mystring.replace('/' + stringToFind + '/g', mystring);

//second try, not much sense at all


mystring = mystring.replace(/stringToFind/g, mystring);

but they don't work. Any ideas?
