Replace characters in JavaScript

Question

I have a string

"vtn:o:result:/buffer/get/"

I want to replace character "o" with "b" So that resultant string is

"vtn:b:result:/buffer/get/"

I am trying following method:

var alphabet = "vtn:o:result:/buffer/get/";
alphabet = alphabet.replace(/:o.*:/, 'b');

But not getting the required result. I don't want to use jQuery, just JavaScript.

Answer 1

You should be able to do

 alphabet.replace('o', 'b');
