Replace string having , with $ [duplicate]

Question

Below is my string.When I console b it is showing as below output:

var a='602,315,805,887,810,863,657,665,865,102,624,659,636';
var b = a.replace(',',"$");
console.log(b);

output:

602$315,805,887,810,863,657,665,865,102,624,659,636

What should I do to replace complete commas in string to $.

Use regexp, /,/g with global flag

var a ='602,315,805,887,810,863,657,665,865,102,624,659,636';
var b = a.replace(/,/g,"$");

You can use String methods .split() and .join() to make an array then glue the pieces back together.

var b = a.split(',').join('$');
