string.replace IntelliSense is conveying wrong meaning #41361
Comments

To perform a global replacement you have to use Regex: Js ref var str = "Mr Blue has a blue house and a blue car";
var res = str.replace(/blue/gi, "red");But yes, the IntelliSense doc is confusing. |
Only correcting the documentation is a viable option. TypeScript does not provide the |
- * @param replaceValue A string containing the text to replace for every successful match of searchValue in this string.
+ * @param replaceValue A string containing the text to replace the first successful match of searchValue in this string. |
