Using Global replace with a variable

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 30.2007

is it possible to use a global replace with a variable?

[code]

str.replace(/hello/g,’goodbye’) works fine

str.replace(var A,’goodbye’) works fine

str.replace(var A /g,’goodbye’) gives “g” is undefined
[/code]

I have tried multiple ways and cannot seem to get it to work globaly… any ideas?
