怎么为正则表达式匹配的字符串加上span包裹起来？

Question

var re=/world|people|Pizar/g
var str = "Disney films are favored by people all around the world, it is known to all that many of the movies are produced by Pizar animation studio";

有一个正则表达式，还有一个字符串，我想为这个字符串中所有匹配正则表达式的单词分别都加上一个< span >包裹起来，例如：< span >world< /span >一样。请问怎么才能办到呢？

Answer 1

 var re=/(world|people|Pizar)/g
var str = "Disney films are favored by people all around the world, it is known to all that many of the movies are produced by Pizar animation studio";
str=str.replace(re,'<span>$1</span>')
alert(str)
