JS multiple replace

I have a problem.

I don't know how to explain it, so I'll give an example:

I want to replace =) with bla1, and I want to replace =)) with bla2.

But what happens is that =)) becomes bla1)

What can I do?

Thanks a lot, and sorry for my English

EDIT: I can't replace =)) first. I have more signs like this. (>:),:((,:)) and more...). All of them are in array and I use a loop to replace all of them. It'll be very complicated to change all of them. the Array is big

You can try this For example...

If you want to replace multiple "-" from single string
var str = "only-for-test";
str.replace(/-/g, "");

//out put : onlyfortest

First replace the more specialized one.

  1. Replace =)) with bla2
  2. Replace =) with bla1

Example

var text = "This =)) is =) some demo =)) =) =)) text";
text = text.replace(/=\)\)/g, "bla2"); // =))
text = text.replace(/=\)/g, "bla1"); // =)

// text = This bla2 is bla1 some demo bla2 bla1 bla2 text

FAILED Example

var text = "This =)) is =) some demo =)) =) =)) text :))";
text = text.replace(/=\)/g, "bla1"); // =)
text = text.replace(/=\)\)/g, "bla2"); // =))

// text = This bla1) is bla1 some demo bla1) bla1 bla1) text
