I tried to replace [[ with ${.

var str = "it is [[test example [[testing";
var res = str.replace(/[[[]/g, "${");

I am getting the result "it is ${${test example ${${testing" but I want the result "it is ${test example ${testing".

Your regex is incorrect.

[[[]

will match one or two [ and replace one [ by ${.

See Demo of incorrect regular expression.

[ is special symbol in Regular Expression. So, to match literal [, you need to escape [ in regex by preceding it \. Without it [ is treated as character class.

var str = "it is [[test example [[testing";
var res = str.replace(/\[\[/g, "${");
//                     ^^^^

document.write(res);

you want to escape the [ using \

var res = str.replace(/\[\[/g, "${");

Just problem with escape characters. use \ before [.

var str = "it is [[test example [[testing";
var res = str.replace(/\[\[/g, "${");

If you don't want to use regex

var res = str.split('[[').join('${');

Sample Here:

var str = "it is [[test example [[testing";
var res = str.split('[[').join('${');

document.write(res);
