How to replace duplicated 'slash' into a single slash from a string?

Question

How can I replace duplicated 'slash' from a string?

For instance,

str = '/estate//info//';  
alert(fragment.replace(/\/\/+/, "/"));

result,

/estate/info//

But I am after,

/estate/info/

Try this:

str = '/estate//info//';  
alert(str.replace(/\/\/+/g, "/"));  
// where 'g' will do the global search and replace it with single '/'

You can also try

  var val = "\\val1\\val2\\val3";
  val = val.substr(0, val.lastIndexOf("\\"));
  alert(val);
