I'm trying to replace a ^ if the user types it in.

 

This works ....

 

alert("^Fred^Bloggs^".replace(/\^/g, "-"));

 

I'm using an array of special characters which I'm encoding and it fails when trying to encode a ^.

 

This doesn't work ....

 

var c = "\^";

var re = new RegExp(c, "g");
alert("^Fred^Bloggs^".replace(re, "-"));

 

Any ideas?
