String match

[Sudha_K]

Hi,

  I need to match 2 contents. Contents having special characters. I have replaced the special characters with "\" but the match result returning "null". 

  Im using the below code.  Wats wrong in my code.

var str1 = "communication privacy management (CPM) theory";

var str2 = "(CPM)"

str2 = replaceStr(str2);

alert(str1.match(/str2/gi))

function replaceStr(fndCont)

{

    var newWord = "";

    for(var cCnt = 0; cCnt < fndCont.length; cCnt++)

    {

        var cChar = fndCont[cCnt];

          if(cChar.match(/[^0-9a-zA-Z]/))             

        {

            cChar = "\\"+cChar;

        }

        newWord +=cChar;

    }

    return newWord;

}

Thanks in advance,

Sudha K
