regex question

[Jeff Thies]

I need to remove non digits from a number.

I thought I could do this:

var phone='22-p67s82';
var re=/\D/g;
phone=phone.rep lace(re,'');

alert(phone) yields: 22-p67s82

What dumb thing am I missing. That regex removes nothing.

(I'd leave the non digits in but it's not my site)

Cheers,
Jeff

Sorry.... My mistake, I had this in a perl heredoc and I needed to
escape the "\"
