A JavaScript error occurred. SyntaxError: missing } after property list

When I change the double quotes in the following code to single quotes, I get an error

before change

script = script.replace(/\"/g, "'");

after change

script = script.replace(/'/g, '\'');

How do I change to single quotes in the correct style

Hi,
What do you want to achieve with this regular expression?
If you want to replace all single quotes with double quotes, here's how:

script = script.replace(/'/g, '"')

I just want to add a little bit. If you want to change all the characters in a string, then instead of replace() you can use .split("").join("")

Example:

script = script.replace(/'/g, '"')
script = script.split("'").join('"')

that should be split("originalcharacter").join("replacementcharacter")
