repl cannot handle single quote in regex, when within a function

[phillipwei]

I'm getting a 'SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input' when I try to enter the following in the repl

var someFunction = function(s) {
    s = s.replace(/'/g, '');
}

However, s = s.replace(/'/g, '') by itself on a new line is OK. Am I doing something wrong?

This is indeed a bug, and you're not doing anything wrong. For a quick workaround, you can use a backslash to escape the single quote in the regular expression: s=s.replace(/\'/g, '');

But yes, you shouldn't have to do that.

Thanks for the work around!
