let name = "John";
let regex = /<&.*<--name-->.*&>/g;
let string = string.repace(regex, value);

Use the RegExp constructor. – Jack Bashford Jul 03 '19 at 00:22

I am sorry, but I don't get it how to do it. Can you give me some hint or example? – John Doe Jul 03 '19 at 00:35

2`new RegExp(name, "g")` will give `/John/g`. – Jack Bashford Jul 03 '19 at 00:36
