How to replace curly quotation marks in a string using Javascript?

Question

I am trying to replace curly quotes:

str = \'“I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory,’ ” Alice said.\';

Using:

str.replace(/[         


        

Answer 1

It doesn't work because you're trying to replace the ASCII apostrophe (or single-quote) and quote characters with the empty string, when what's actually in your source string aren't ASCII characters.

str.replace(/[“”‘’]/g,'');

works.
