Remove whitespaces inside a string in javascript

Question

I\'ve read this question about javascript trim, with a regex answer.

Then I expect trim to remove the inner space between Hello and World.

Answer 1

You can use Strings replace method with a regular expression.

"Hello World ".replace(/ /g, "");

The replace() method returns a new string with some or all matches of a pattern replaced by a replacement. The pattern can be a string or a RegExp

RegExp

• / / - Regular expression matching spaces

• g - Global flag; find all matches rather than stopping after the first match

const str = "H    e            l l       o  World! ".replace(/ /g, "");
document.getElementById("greeting").innerText = str;
