I would like to remove all special characters (except for numbers) from a string. I have been able to get this far
var name = name.replace(/[^a-zA-Z ]/, ""); but it seems that it is removing the first number and leaving all of the others.
For example:
name = "collection1234"; //=> collection234 or
name = "1234567"; //=> 234567 5 Answers
Use the global flag:
var name = name.replace(/[^a-zA-Z ]/g, ""); ^ If you don't want to remove numbers, add it to the class:
var name = name.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]/g, ""); To remove the special characters, try
var name = name.replace(/[!@#$%^&*]/g, ""); If you don't mind including the underscore as an allowed character, you could try simply:
result = subject.replace(/\W+/g, ""); If the underscore must be excluded also, then
result = subject.replace(/[^A-Z0-9]+/ig, ""); (Note the case insensitive flag)
to remove symbol use tag [ ]
step:1
[] step 2:place what symbol u want to remove eg:@ like [@]
[@] step 3:
var name = name.replace(/[@]/g, ""); thats it
var name="ggggggg@fffff" var result = name.replace(/[@]/g, ""); console .log(result)Extra Tips
To remove space (give one space into square bracket like []=>[ ])
[@ ] It Remove Everything (using except)
[^place u dont want to remove] eg:i remove everyting except alphabet (small and caps)
[^a-zA-Z ] var name="ggggg33333@#$%^&**I(((**gg@fffff" var result = name.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g, ""); console .log(result)This should work as well
text = 'the car? was big and* red!'
newtext = re.sub( '[^a-z0-9]', ' ', text)
print(newtext)
the car was big and red
