jquery find / replace arrays?

I'm trying to learning about pattern matching with jQuery and I had a question...

In php, I can do something like this:

$find = array("-", "_", "+");
$replace = array("X", "Y", "Z");

$string = "The alphabet ends in -, _, +";
$newstring = str_replace($find, $replace, $string); 

Select allOpen in new window

Which will yield: The alphabet ends in X, Y, Z

Is there a way to accomplish this with jquery?  Where I can define an array of values to search for and replace them with the values in another array?  I get that I can do a replace(/pattern/, "Something"), but was hoping for a way to duplicate this php code in jquery?
