Javascript or JQuery to remove certain text and characters between

Question

I have HTML like so:

<br>
For the application these are [a bunch of random characters that need to be removed]).
<br?
<br>

I need to use Javascript/JQuery (probably a regular expression) to remove the HTML starting with:

 For the application these are

and ending with:

).
<br>
<br>

Everything in between must go too.

Answer 1

As far as I understood, this should work for you. Demo url: http://regexr.com/3gioj

$(your_element).replace(/For the application these are .+?(\)\.)/g,"")

Answer 2

If the words and characters are accurate and 100% exact in all scenarios, then easily:

var sentence = "For the application these are foofoofoo!!!)"

sentence = sentence.replace(sentence.split("For the application these are ")[1].split(")")[0], "");

console.log(sentence);

//output: For the application these are )

Don't even need RegEx. Then just append sentence to wherever u want to

Answer 3

Here's a snippet to remove everything from and including For to ). using regex.

 document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/For(.*?)\\)\\./,''); console.log(document.body.innerHTML); 

 <br> For the application these are (sdi12ni3jo45n). <br> <br>
