Question

The element contains the following content, where the desired solution is to clean "everything" except the words and space between

 var textContent = "🇾🇹 +(269) Yukon Makukon" var cleanContent = textContent.replace(/[^A-Za-z]/g, ``) document.write(cleanContent); 

Answer 1

Add space character in your regex and then just .trim() it to format it nicely.

 var textContent = "🇾🇹 +(269) Yukon Makukon" var cleanContent = textContent.replace(/[^A-Za-z ]/g, ``).trim(); document.write(cleanContent); 

Answer 2

let textContent = "🇾🇹 +(269) Yukon Makukon";
let result = textContent.replace(/[^a-zA-Z ]/g, "").trim();
console.log(result); // => Yukon Makukon

This will remove all special characters along with any extra white space.

Answer 3

Or, you may use an arrow function and return empty string or just .replace(/[^A-Za-z ]/g, '') will be fine if you just want to ignore them:

 var textContent = "🇾🇹 +(269) Yukon Makukon" // this way, you can replace them with any character if you wish. // you were ignoring space ---------------------V var cleanContent = textContent.replace(/[^A-Za-z ]/g, u=>''); document.write(cleanContent); 

Answer 4

 var cleanContent = textContent.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g, '').trim();
