Answer 1

There are already multiple answers using str.replace() (which is fair enough for this question) and regex but you can use combination of str.split() and join() together which is faster than str.replace() and regex.

Below is working example:

var text = "this is some sample text that i want to replace";

console.log(text.split("want").join("dont want"));
