what's wrong with this javascript regexp?

Trying to find instances of "N/A" in markup and swap out with something else,

var $reg = new RegExp('[Nn]/[Aa]');

I'd suggest:

stringToSearchIn.replace(/(N\/A)/gi,'words to replace with');
  1. \/ escapes the slash, as the / character delimits the regex string, and
  2. the gi at the end:
    • g is for a global search, so it doesn't stop after the first match, and
    • i is case-insensitive (so it'll match n and N, a and A.
