remove certain special characters from Text

Question

Hey guys I am making a project on PhantomJS where I read source code of some webpages and i extract some info i need from there. I successfully finished the work just one issue I am facing right now. I have a text that have inside it special characters I need to get rid off. in my case I have :

Avenue de Citeaux 22<br><br>1348 Louvain-la-Neuve

that "<><>" i need to get rid off, I am using :

str.replace('<br><br>','')

but its not working ... any ideas ?

Answer 1

尝试str.replace(/<br>/g, "") （启用了全局搜索标志的正则表达式，以替换所有出现的情况）。

Answer 2

something like this?

str = str.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig,"");

I've just realised, str.replace() RETURNS the value, not replaces it. Try the above.
