删除单词和周围的换行符

Question

I have a string that is a set of paragraphs.

"text text text text text

TRIGGER_WORD 

text text text text text" 

I would like to remove TRIGGER_WORD and the line break above it, so you will end with this:

"text text text text text

text text text text text" 

I need to remove the line break above the "TRIGGER_WORD" to ensure there is a single space between the two surrounding paragraphs.

So far I'm doing this:

string.replace("TRIGGER_WORD", '')

But that does not remove the line break

Help?

Answer 1

Match as many space characters as you can after the word:

 const input = `text text text text text TRIGGER_WORD text text text text text`; console.log( input.replace(/TRIGGER_WORD\s+/, '') );
