how to escape a quote in javascript without jslint crying foul

Question

how would I escape the quote in the following line of code so that jslint doesn't throw a warning on it. Currently it throws an "Unclosed string" warning on this line.

    input = input.replace(/""/g,"\\\"");

I am using the maven yuicompressor plugin for minifying the js & css and also checking the js files with jslint. Here's my configuration for the plugin.

    .....
    <plugin>
          <groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>
          <artifactId>yuicompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <executions>
            <execution>
              <phase>package</phase>
              <goals>
                <goal>compress</goal>
                <goal>jslint</goal>
              </goals>
            </execution>
          </executions>
          <configuration>
            <nosuffix>true</nosuffix>                   
            <excludes>                  
              <exclude>**/*.min.js</exclude>
              <exclude>**/*.min.css</exclude>
            </excludes>
          </configuration>
    </plugin>

Answer 1

I don't know if this is technically an answer but I was using version 1.3.0 when I got this error. Upgrading to version 1.3.4 fixed the problem and no longer shows the jslint error on that line.
