How to remove ampersand, pound & number from a http response string in Javascript

Question

I currently have an API that returns the following string inside parentheses

(Multivitamin Gummies - Berry, Peach & Orange - 150ct - Up&Up™)

I want it to be instead formatted to the user like so

(Multivitamin Gummies - Berry, Peach & Orange - 150ct - Up&Up)

Is there a way to dynamically do this fix this in javascript?

Here is another example:

(Aloe Hand Sanitizer Gel - 8 fl oz - Up&Up™) 

should return

(Aloe Hand Sanitizer Gel - 8 fl oz - Up&Up)

Answer 1

I hope this helps

 var str = 'Aloe Hand Sanitizer Gel - 8 fl oz - Up&Up™'; console.log(str.match(/[^™]+/)[0]);

Answer 2

Add the characters you want to replace in the or |like below in the regex and replace using .replace()

/™|&#38|&#8482/g

 var str = 'Aloe Hand Sanitizer Gel - &#8482 8 fl oz - Up&Up™'; console.log(str.replace(/™|&#38|&#8482/g, ""));

Answer 3

Looks like you want to replace all Unicode with empty string.

You can use regex str.replace(/(&#\d+;)/g,"") to remove these characters

 var str = '(Multivitamin Gummies - Berry, Peach & Orange - 150ct - Up&Up™)'; console.log(str.replace(/(&#\d+;)/g,"")); str = '(Aloe Hand Sanitizer Gel - 8 fl oz - Up&Up™) '; console.log(str.replace(/(&#\d+;)/g,""));
