I have a string Pigs __(cant)__ fly. I want to replace the word __( )__ with an input field. What is the regex for this? I can do very simple regex stuff but this is going up above my head.

Try this:
var str = "Pigs __(2cansf33't)__ fly"
var convertedString = str.replace(/s__(([a-z0-9']*))__s/, ' ');
console.log(convertedString)
Let me know if this helps.
