x = x.replace(/[{()}]/g, '');
y = y.replace(/[{()}]/g, '');
x = x.replace(/[\[\]']+/g, '');
y = y.replace(/[\[\]']+/g, '');
okay I understand that the first block removes the curly brackets, and the second block of code removes the regular brackets. I want to remove parenthesis now.. can someone show me how?
I've gotten the above code by just googling.. but I don't understand "how" they come up with this, can someone please explain? thanks
x = x.replace(/[{()}]/g, '');
y = y.replace(/[{()}]/g, '');
In your first regex /[{()}]/g
the outer square brackets []
makes a character class , it will match one of the character specified inside of it. In this case the characters {
(
)
}
.
Outside of the /regexp/
you have the g
(global) modifier meaning that your entire regular expression will match as many times as it can , and it will not just make to the first match.
x = x.replace(/[\[\]']+/g, '');
y = y.replace(/[\[\]']+/g, '');
In your second regex /[\\[\\]']+/g
the outer square brackets []
makes a character class , it will match one of the character specified inside of it. In this case the characters [
]
'
.
Note that the square brackets appear scaped inside the [character class] as \\[
\\]
.
After it you have specified a +
quantifier , it makes the preceding rule match one or more
times in a row. Note that this is redundant, even if it works, this is not quite what you want.
Outside of the /regularexpression/
you have the g
(global) modifier meaning that your entire regular expression will match as many times as it can , and it will not just make to the first match.
