Double quotation marks string replace issue

[bitfella]

Hello,
I am trying to remove the following string @charset "UTF-8"; from Webpack's css output.
I am using the following configuration:

          loader: 'string-replace-loader',
          query: {
            multiple: [
              {
                search: '@charset "UTF-8";', 
                replace: '_____AAAAA_____',
                flags: 'ig'
              }              
            ]
          }

but it does not seems to work, unfortunately.
I noticed the following webpack log on my terminal:

"search":"@charset /"UTF-8/";","replace":"_____AAAAA_____","flags":"ig"

I guess something's wrong with the way the regexp is created, since it appends slashes, building up a wrong string that does not exists in my css.

Any idea?
Thanks

Hello:
This is because the character does not escape.
you can test npm package : 'webpack-replace-loader'

characters are not escaped intentionally, as if they were escaped, plugin would have been useless in cases when you really want to specify a regex replacement. please, read the docs carefully. thank you
