JavaScript replaceAll Example

I needed a JavaScript "replaceAll" function on a string. Note the global flag /g

	var name = "John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith";
	//replace the space with a dot '.'
	var id = name.replace(/\s/g, '.');
	console.log(id);
	//now replace the '.' with a space
	newId = id.replace(/\./g, ' ');
	console.log(newId);

The output is:
John.Jacob.Jingleheimer.Smith
John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith
