How to remove ↵ symbol from string using .replace

Question

I have data that I am trying to scrape and save to JSON but I'm getting this symbol "↵"

For example my data is this -

<span class="tracktime">06:21
- 15.26 mb</span>

I am trying to save the duration only using -

'duration': $(this).find('span[class="tracktime"]').text().trim().replace(/\↵/g, " ").trim().split(" ")[0]

but the data I am getting back is -

duration: "06:21↵-"

I have also tried this with no luck -

.replace(/\r\n/g, "")

Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Answer 1

Why not work with substr ?

 let text = document.querySelector('.tracktime').textContent.trim().substr(0, 5); console.log(text);

 <span class="tracktime">06:21 - 15.26 mb</span>

If all you want to achieve is replacing the new line, go like this:

 let text = document.querySelector('.tracktime').textContent.trim().replaceAll('\n', ''); console.log(text);

 <span class="tracktime">06:21 - 15.26 mb</span>
