Regular expression question 1

[JuanitaC]

I have written this small regular expression, but it isn't working. I have these three characters that I use to delimit a string. Before I write the string to the screen, I want to ensure that all the delimiters are removed. I can't remove them individually, in case they appear in the string, I only want to remove when they appear together.

rExp=/|`~/g
var tmpRows = new String(outString)
outString=tmpRows.replace(rExp,"")

If I do this

rExp=/[|`~]/g
var tmpRows = new String(outString)
outString=tmpRows.replace(rExp,"")

it works, but that removes the characters individually, from what I understand on the DevGuru site.

Any ideas?

The first one is not correct | = OR in RegExp, if you want to use a pipe you have to escape it with a \ i.e: \| --BB

Thanks a bunch! I knew it would be something like that, but I couldn't find which of my characters was a special one.
