How to replace string with single quotes?

My Date value is 2013/06/04 - 2013/06/06 , i want to replace it with '2013/06/04' And '2013/06/06' how can i do it? I tried giving 

var value = $("#date_range").val().replace('-','\'');

but i am getting escape character?

Solution

  • Your attempt wouldn't wrap the outer sides of the dates in quotes anyway, so I don't think that's what you're looking for. Try:

    var str = "2013/06/04 - 2013/06/06";
var dates = str.split(" - ");
var value = "'"+dates.join("' and '")+"'";

    Results in '2013/06/04' and '2013/06/06'
