I tested the regEx on RegExr and it's working but when I put it in my code nothing happens.

My Code:

$('.attachment-shop_thumbnail').each(function () {
    var imgsrc = $(this).attr('src');

    imgsrc = imgsrc.replace('/-\d+x\d./g', '');
    console.log(imgsrc);
    $(this).wrap('<a href="' + imgsrc + '" rel="lightbox"></a>');
});

I tried to put it in a new variable:

var rgx = new RegExp('/-\d+x\d./g');
imgsrc = imgsrc.replace(rgx , '');

But that didnt helped at all.

Use the literal syntax: `.replace(/-\d+x\d./g, '');` or if you want the constructor version lose the / and escape the \ - `new RegExp('-\\d+x\\d.', 'g');` – Alex K. Sep 19 '17 at 11:55
Besides, if the `.` should match a literal dot, escape it, `\.`. – Wiktor Stribiżew Sep 19 '17 at 11:56
Thank you! @AlexK. – Bill Bronson Sep 19 '17 at 12:14
