Notepad++ regex replace - how to remove this string

Question

I want to remove strings in the form of the following where some-text is a random text string.

$('#some-text').val();

I've tried various things but I think the $ sign is messing things up since it's used in regex.

Answer 1

You need to escape some characters.
Try this -

\$\('#[^']*'\)\.val\(\);

Answer 2

通过转义特殊字符来尝试此正则表达式：

\$\(.*\).val\(\);

Answer 3

To avoid escaping the special characters, you can use \\Q - \\E pair to surround the part where you want the regex engine to interpret literally:

\Q$('\E<your-regex>\Q').val();\E

Replace <your-regex> with your regex to match the selector, or whatever it is.
